Sweet honey cheese ravioli

It's hard to find someone who doesn't like pasta, right? I'd say it's almost impossible, as there are so many varieties and it would be very strange not to find one that suits your tastes. The same goes for ravioli, this pasta can be filled with anything you can imagine, there's even a sweet ravioli version.

Sweet ravioli are a typical Italian dessert, popular during Carnival and Easter. Depending on the region, the name may vary, but in general, throughout Sicily, this sweet variety is known as "Cassatelle" . The traditional ones consist of a filling of ricotta cheese, sugar, cinnamon and chocolate chips. My version is quite different from the latter, I simply wanted to make my own version of sweet ravioli and I opted for a simple filling of parmesan cheese and honey.

These sweet cheese ravioli with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon are a treat you can't miss. Crispy and sweet, they're fantastic as a snack. Plus, they're not complicated at all, incredibly easy to make and ideal for involving the little ones in the house. There's nothing more entertaining than spending an afternoon with your hands in the dough and, most fun of all, learning how to use the pasta machine .

Ingredients (for 2 people)

• 100 g of wheat flour 10% protein
• 35 g icing sugar
• 1 L egg at room temperature
• 45 g grated parmesan
• 2 tablespoons of EVOO
• 3 heaping tablespoons of honey
• Cinnamon to sprinkle and/or icing sugar

Preparation

1. Sift flour and sugar into a bowl. Mix and make a well in the centre. Add an egg and stir until a dough forms.
2. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead with your hands until you get a soft and elastic dough. Let it rest covered for 5 minutes.
3. Using the Imperia pasta machine , we begin to stretch the dough until it is 1 or 2 millimetres thick. Using a pasta cutter , we cut out about 16 circles of about 7 centimetres in diameter.
4. Grate the cheese using a grater and place small piles on half of the pasta circles. Paint the edges with a little water and cover with the other empty circles, pressing the edges lightly to seal them.
5. In a frying pan , heat the oil and fry the ravioli for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
6. Finally, we heat the honey slightly in a saucepan so that it is well diluted and spread it over the ravioli. Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve immediately.
