The Perfect Valentine's Food Recipe: Heart-Shaped Ravioli with Tomato Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup canned tomato sauce
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Start by making the pasta dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg yolk, parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Roll out the pasta dough on a floured surface until it is thin. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many hearts as you can from the dough. Spoon a tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto half of the hearts, leaving a small border around the edges. Place another heart on top of each one and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the ravioli for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

To make the tomato cream sauce, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce and minced garlic, and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the ravioli with the tomato cream sauce and garnish with fresh herbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your homemade heart-shaped ravioli with tomato cream sauce with your loved ones this Valentine's Day.
