Wiener Rindsravioli (viennese Beef Ravioli)

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 package of fresh pasta sheets
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg, bread crumbs, milk, and egg. Mix until well combined.
  2. Roll out the fresh pasta sheets on a lightly floured surface. Place small mounds of the beef mixture onto the pasta sheets, leaving space between each mound.
  3. Brush the edges of the pasta with water, then fold the pasta over the beef filling to create individual ravioli. Press the edges firmly to seal.
  4. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the ravioli for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.
  5. In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cooked ravioli and toss to coat in the butter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
  6. Serve the ravioli hot, with a generous sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese.
