Ingredients
Ravioli Dough: 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon salt
½ tablespoon olive oil
½ cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water
Finely chopped oregano (about 2g)
Basil leaves (about 8g)
Filling: ½ block (about 8 ounces) extra firm tofu
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons vegan parmesan
¼ teaspoon salt
For Topping: Drizzle of olive oil
Vegan parmesan
Fresh herbs
Instructions
1. Filling: In a blender or food processor, blend extra firm tofu, lemon juice and zest, vegan parmesan, and salt until smooth. Taste and adjust salt as necessary.
2. Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, turmeric, salt, and chopped herbs. Gradually add olive oil and warm water, mixing until the mixture forms a shaggy dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth.
3. Assembly: Divide the dough into 4 pieces; roll each piece out very thin. Using stamps or a knife and fork, outline ravioli shapes. Fill each shape with 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon of the lemon ricotta filling. Wet the edges with water, fold the dough over the filling, and cut into individual ravioli.
4. Cooking: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and gently boil the ravioli for about 5 minutes or until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and repeat until all ravioli are cooked.
5. Serving: Drizzle cooked ravioli with olive oil, sprinkle with fresh herbs and shaved vegan parmesan. For added flavor, serve with a light vegan lemon-butter or cream sauce if desired.
Notes
🔪 Using high-protein flour (at least 13% protein) will help achieve that perfect al dente texture in your pasta.
🧊 For future quick preparations, freeze the assembled ravioli on a lined baking sheet before boiling and store in a container.
💡 Enhance flavor with additional lemon zest on top just before serving to add a zesty finish.
