How to make ravioli with cheese? I advise you to prepare the dough in advance. When it lies down, it will become more elastic due to the swelling of gluten in the flour.
Carefully separate the whites from the yolks. Cover the proteins with a film so that they do not dry out, and put them in the refrigerator. They will not be needed in the recipe.
A food processor will help to knead the dough. Pour the yolks into the container and salt them. Add 2/3 of the flour volume.
The remaining part will be poured during the kneading process, bringing the dough to the desired consistency. The speed should be average. The dough should be steep.
Now we will work with our hands. Sprinkle the table with flour. Knead the dough until it is elastic and dense. Wrap it with cling film and let it lie down for 1 hour.
During this time, prepare the filling. It consists of soft cheese (Cambocola, Montagnolo, Robiola, Stracino, Toleggio) and hard cheese (Parmesan). If soft can be replaced with Mozzarella or Ricotta, then Parmesan remains indispensable. Without it, there will be no special taste and aroma of ravioli.
Finely grate the cheeses and mix in one bowl. Pour in the lemon peel shavings. So the simple filling is ready.
The dough needs to be rolled out thinly (1mm). Cut into strips of this size: width – 4cm, and length – 8 cm. put the filling (1 teaspoon) on one half of such a rectangle and cover with the second half of the strip. Gently press the dough with your hands around the bump with the filling, pressing the dough. Thus, we release the air from the ravioli. If this is done correctly, then when cooking the ravioli will sink to the bottom, and if there is air left, they will immediately float up. The edges of the dough should be curly. You can press them down with a fork, use a special knife with a curly blade or a knife for cutting pizza.
Pour water into a saucepan and add salt to it. Let it boil, boil the ravioli for 5 minutes.
Here are our ravioli ready. You can enjoy and treat your household. Bon appetit!

Be prepared for the fact that you may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. To avoid mistakes, read about flour and its properties!
