Ingredients
400 g 00 flour
150 mL Water at room temperature
1 Egg
1 egg yolk
10 g fine salt
600 g potatoes
250 g ricotta Sterilgarda
Q.b. salt
Q.b. black pepper
200 g sour cream
60 g butter
Q.b. chives
Preparation
  1. To make potato and ricotta pierogi, first cook the potatoes in boiling salted water.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the fresh pasta: combine the flour, salt, and lightly beaten eggs in a bowl. Add the water and mix with your hands to combine the ingredients.
  3. Then transfer the mixture to a work surface and knead for a few minutes until the dough is smooth and even. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  4. Once the potatoes are cooked, mash them in a bowl with a potato masher, then add the Sterilgarda Ricotta, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  5. Then, take the dough and roll it out to a thickness of about 2 mm. Cut out 8 cm diameter discs using a pastry cutter and fill each one with about 20 g of filling.
  6. Fold the disk in half to form a crescent, press the edges with your fingers, and then seal them with the prongs of a fork (this recipe will make about 40 ravioli). As they're ready, transfer the ravioli to a lightly floured tea towel.
  7. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook the ravioli for about 5 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a pan and chop the chives.
  9. Drain the ravioli and sauté them in the pan for a couple of minutes, adding a little cooking water.
  10. Serve the Pierogi with a spoonful of sour cream and chives to taste.
