Every time I make Carnival Chiacchiere, I always prepare Fried Sweet Ravioli with Ricotta and Chocolate Cream as well, the dough is practically the same. I used ricotta with chocolate chips for the filling, but you can also use jam or Nutella.
I strictly fry them, but they are also delicious baked. Try them.

- 2 tablespoons sugar
Tools
- Bowl
- Stand Mixer
- Pasta Roller
- Pastry Wheel
- Frying Pan
Steps
The first thing to do is prepare the chiacchiere dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Now let’s prepare the cream. In a bowl, mix the ricotta, sugar, and chocolate chips together.
Add the lemon zest and mix again. Let it rest in the fridge until ready to use.
Take small pieces of dough and roll them out with our pasta roller. You can also use a rolling pin if desired.
Place a bit of ricotta cream in the center of each strip of dough.
Cover with another strip of dough and use the pastry wheel to form the ravioli. Fry them in hot oil and once they are cool, dust with powdered sugar.
