Procedure
Preparing the Dough
Start by sifting the flour into a bowl and forming a well;crack the eggs into the center and add a pinch of salt. Mix initially with a fork until all the ingredients are incorporated, then immediately work the dough with your hands, first in the bowl and then on a pastry board. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic;
then, let the dough rest under the bowl for 30 minutes.
Preparing the Filling
Meanwhile, prepare the filling: grate the Grana Padano in a food processor, then add 7-8 kernels, continuing to blend finely. Finally, add the speck. Once the mixture has a coarse sandpaper texture, pour it into a large bowl. Then, combine everything with the well-drained ricotta and a sprinkling of nutmeg. Use a fork to incorporate all the filling ingredients well, and let them rest in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap.Making the Ravioli
Take the dough and roll it out, using a rolling pin or pasta machine, into thin sheets;add a spoonful of filling every 2 cm. Meanwhile, using a silicone brush, brush the egg white around the filling and fold the sheet over itself to form the ravioli. Finally, cut out the ravioli with a pastry cutter and place them on a floured tray. Remember that the ravioli can also be frozen: place them in the freezer for 10 minutes directly on the tray and then place them in a freezer bag (in this case, they can be boiled directly from frozen in boiling water).
Cooking and Seasoning
Bring the water to a boil, then boil the ravioli in plenty of salted water;cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the pasta and the freshness of the product (approximately 5-9 minutes). Melt the butter in a nonstick pan, add the sage and coarsely chopped walnuts, and sauté for a couple of minutes. Once cooked al dente, drain the ravioli with a slotted spoon directly into the pan. Stir-fry for a moment to blend the flavors, then plate. Serve them while still hot, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and ground pepper. Enjoy your meal!
