These ravioli from Liguria celebrate the wealth of wonderful vegetables in the region, using the famous Albenga artichokes in place of the more traditional meat fillings.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

For Pasta:

3 whole eggs plus 2 egg yolks, beaten together

Pinch of salt

1 egg beaten, for brushing the dough

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

For Filling:

1 small leek, washed well and thinly sliced

8 small Italian artichokes

3 tablespoons butter, melted

salt and freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 whole eggs plus 1 egg yolk, beaten together

3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

For Sauce:

3 tablespoons butter

Pinch of thyme leaves

DIRECTIONS

FOR PASTA: Work the flour with the eggs and the salt. Roll the dough in to a ball. Let it rest, covered with a damp cloth.

FOR FILLING: Wash and trim the artichokes. Cut each artichoke into 4 wedges. In a skillet, combine the artichokes, leek, half the butter and salt and pepper to taste. Cook slowly for about 15 minutes, then puree the mixture in a blender or food processor. Stir in the olive oil, eggs and Parmesan.

FOR RAVIOLI: Roll out the dough into 2 thin sheets, 12 in square, and brush with beaten egg. Place the filling on the first sheet in 1/2 teaspoon amounts, 2 inches apart. Top with the second sheet and press down gently around each mound of filling. Use a ravioli wheel or fluted pastry wheel to cut 2 inch square ravioli. Cook them in plenty of boiling salted water until they rise to the surface, then drain. Serve dressed with melted butter flavored with the thyme.
