Ingredients

  1. 1 cup semolina flour, plus extra for dusting
  2. 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  3. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  4. 3 large eggs
  5. 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  6. 1 cup shelled edamame (soy beans), cooked until very tender
  7. 1/2 container (4-ounces) soft tofu
  8. 1 teaspoon truffle oil
  9. 1 teaspoon orange zest
  10. 1/4 cup mascarpone
  11. 8 ounces fresh Dungeness crabmeat
  12. 1 tablespoon basil chiffonade
  13. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  14. 1 cup white wine
  15. 2 tablespoons dry sherry
  16. 3 shallots, peeled and chopped
  17. 1 tablespoon peeled and chopped ginger
  18. 1 bay leaf
  19. 1/4 cup heavy cream
  20. 2 sticks (8-ounces) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  21. 1 orange, juiced
  22. 2 tablespoons fresh basil chiffonade

Instructions

  1. For the pasta dough: In a food processor, pulse the flours and salt together to blend. With the machine running, add the eggs, 1 at a time, allowing each to incorporate into the flour mixture. Once incorporated, slowly add the olive oil and continue blending until the mixture starts to form a ball. Remove the ball to a lightly floured work surface and knead it until it is smooth, about 10 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour. While the dough rests, make the filling.
  2. For the filling: Put the edamame, tofu, and truffle oil into the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. Transfer this mixture into a large bowl and fold in the orange zest, mascarpone, crabmeat, and basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste
  3. Roll the pasta: Set the pasta roller on the widest setting. Start with half the pasta dough. Using your hands flatten the dough as much as you can to facilitate it going through the pasta roller. Run the dough through the roller twice dusting it with flour in between rolls if it feels sticky. Fold it into thirds, turn it 90 degrees, and run it through the pasta machine 2 to 3 times. Continue to run the pasta through the machine, reducing the setting between each run, until you get to the second to last setting.
  4. Make the ravioli: Lay the pasta sheet on a floured work surface. With a 3-inch round cutter, cut out the ravioli circles. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of each round. Lightly brush the edges with water, fold the circles over to form half moons, and press to seal the edges. Make sure you get out any air bubbles or your ravioli will explode when you cook them. Transfer them to a sheet tray coated with flour or semolina. Cover and set aside until you are ready to cook them.
  5. Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over high heat, add the white wine, sherry, shallots, ginger, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and reduce until syrupy. Add the cream and cook until it is reduced slightly. Turn the heat to medium-low, remove the bay leaf, and whisk in the butter bit by bit, being careful not to let the sauce boil. When all the butter is incorporated, add the orange juice. Stir in the basil and keep warm.
  6. To serve: Cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water over medium-high heat. Drain. Arrange 2 or 3 ravioli on each pasta plate and drizzle with the Orange Beurre Blanc. Serve immediately.

I haven’t tried this yet. However I’m sure it’ll be a hit. I was wondering if there is a substitute for the tofu…I’m not really a fan.

This is an awesome recipe and it definitely plays on the whole fusion aspect of cooking, which is right up my alley. Ih ave to hand it to Chef Beau. I make homemade gluten free pasta, and when it comes to technique, I really respect Chef Anne, but Chef Beau’s technique of using the food processor works better for a GF Pasta.
