Steps for the Carnival Ravioli

• To prepare these wonderful ravioli, you need to prepare the dough. You can make it by hand in a bowl or use any kitchen robot. In the bowl, pour the sifted flour, granulated sugar, mascarpone, orange juice, rum, salt, baking powder, and grated orange zest, using a spoon to mix all the ingredients and then use your hands. Finally, add the egg and continue until the dough is well compacted, working it on the work surface. Let the dough rest covered with a towel for 15 minutes.

  

• On a floured work surface, use a rolling pin to roll out a sheet 1/8 inch thick and cut out discs with a round cutter. Place these shortcrust pastry discs on the tool to make ravioli and fill the center with a tablespoon of Nutella and a teaspoon of mascarpone, close and seal well. If you don’t have this tool, you can easily do everything by hand as my grandmother used to do, cutting out a disc of dough with a glass and placing the filling in the center, folding it into a half-moon and sealing the edges well with the back of a fork.

  

• Place the ravioli in the air fryer basket and cook at 320°F for 10 minutes and then at 356°F for another 5. If you don’t have a double-resistance fryer like mine, you will need to turn them halfway through cooking. The ravioli are ready when they are nicely golden. Continue cooking with the rest of the ravioli. Then let them cool completely. If you want to cook them in the oven, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cook in a static oven preheated to 356°F for 15 minutes. If you want to fry them, just heat peanut oil to 338°F and fry them a few at a time.

  

• When cool, dust the surface with powdered sugar and serve. I hope you like this latest recipe of mine, see you next time, friends.
