- 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and add the eggs and olive oil.

- In a separate bowl, mix together the chopped Truffle Hill Black Truffles, ricotta cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Roll out the dough using a pasta maker or a rolling pin until it is thin enough to cut into ravioli.
- Use a ravioli cutter or a knife to cut the dough into small squares.
- Place a small spoonful of the black truffles and ricotta cheese mixture onto half of the squares.
- Place the remaining squares on top of the filling and press the edges together to seal the ravioli.
