Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Pasta

  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Filling

  • 8 oz white chocolate
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream plus 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Sauce

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries plus additional berries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the Pasta Dough: Combine all pasta dough ingredients in a stand mixer using the flat beater attachment until mostly combined, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Switch to the dough hook and knead on speed 2 for 2-3 minutes, adding water 1 tbsp at a time if dough is crumbly until it forms a cohesive ball. Remove dough and knead by hand for 2 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Prepare the Filling: Melt white chocolate with 1/4 cup heavy cream in a double boiler until smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup of this mixture for the sauce later. In a separate bowl, whisk mascarpone, vanilla, and 1 tbsp cream until soft and combined. Fold in the melted white chocolate mixture gently until fully incorporated without overmixing.
  3. Roll Out and Assemble Ravioli: Divide rested dough into 4 portions. Roll each portion into a thin, oblong shape. Pass through a pasta roller on the widest setting several times, folding dough into thirds or quarters to smooth and eliminate holes. Then run through the roller twice each on settings 2 and 3 (optional up to 4) until smooth. Lightly flour a ravioli mold and lay pasta sheet on top. Dust with flour, press mold into dough to create indentations, and fill each with about 1 tsp of mascarpone filling. Cover with a second pasta sheet, press lightly to seal avoiding air bubbles, dust top with flour, and roll with a rolling pin to reveal ravioli shapes. Flip mold, remove ravioli, and separate pieces. Repeat with remaining dough and filling, using dough scraps for fettuccine if desired. Use immediately or refrigerate/freeze for later.
  4. Make Raspberry Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and raspberries, cooking while stirring until sugar dissolves and raspberries break down. Adjust sweetness if desired. Mix cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens rapidly. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and set aside.
  5. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently add ravioli and cook for approximately 9 minutes until they float to the surface. Drain carefully.
  6. Plate and Serve: Warm the reserved white chocolate mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for 15 more seconds and stir again. Drizzle this white chocolate sauce over the cooked ravioli. Spoon the raspberry sauce over and garnish with fresh raspberries. Serve immediately for a show-stopping dessert.

Notes

  • Ensure the pasta dough is well rested before rolling to improve elasticity and prevent tearing.
  • If dough feels too dry or crumbly, add water gradually, as needed.
  • Do not overmix the mascarpone filling to maintain a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Use a fine mesh strainer for the raspberry sauce to avoid seeds in the final presentation.
  • Leftover pasta scraps can be rolled out and cut into fettuccine for another meal, reducing waste.
  • Ravioli can be frozen after assembly; cook from frozen for best results.
  • Adjust raspberry sauce sweetness according to your taste preference.
