Preparation

Step 1
Put 4/5 of the semolina, 4/5 of the flour, salt, water, olive oil, 4 egg yolks and 2 whole eggs in the food processor and knead well with the dough hook on a slow setting (if necessary, at the end add the remaining semolina and flour until the dough has a good consistency). Afterwards knead the dough slightly on a lightly floured work surface. If the dough is still too crumbly, add a little water or half an egg white. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; alternatively vacuum seal the dough so that it bonds even better.

Egg yolks (size M)
Eggs (size M)
tsp. Salt
tbsp. Olive oil
tbsp. Water
Egg white (for the suppleness of the dough)
Step 2
Peel the shallot, dice finely and fry in oil, coarsely chop the chestnuts, add to the pan and roast both over a medium heat. Deglaze with Madeira and remove from the hob. Season with salt, pepper and thyme. Partially crush the chestnuts with a fork. Whip the ricotta in the food processor for several minutes. Once the chestnuts have cooled down, add the mixture to the ricotta, mix together and put in a piping bag or a bowl. Place in the fridge to chill.

Step 3
Lightly flour the work surface and thinly roll out the pasta dough with a pasta machine or by hand, and divide it using a round or fluted cutter. Fill the center of the dough with the chestnut mixture. Brush the edges with whisked egg, fold from bottom to top and press the edges together. Important: make sure all the air is pushed out of the ravioli pieces. Sprinkle a plate with semolina and spread the finished ravioli on top.

Rub the porcini mushrooms with a cloth and then cut into rough pieces. Wash the chard and also cut into large pieces.

Season with pepper, remove and put in the oven. Cook at 100°C for 30 minutes on the oven rack.
