Sweet ravioli with lavender

To make the filling, mix the ricotta cheese, mascarpone, 1 tbsp. of vanilla sugar and 1 ts. of lavender. Season the mixture to taste with lemon and orange rind, salt, Jamaica pepper (allspice). The stuffing should thicken, if not, add more mascarpone.

Take out the pasta dough from the fridge, 10 minutes before you intend to use it. Then unfold it. Lay on of the pasta sheets on a flat surface and apply a whisked egg or water on top. Place small portions of mixture on the sheet, spoon by spoon. There should be a space of 3 cm (1.2 inches) between each stuffing.

Place the second pasta sheet carefully over first one. Press on border around the filling. Do not press the stuffing. To give the shape of the ravioli, cut along the middle of the spaces into squares or rounds with the pastry-cutting wheel. Make sure the border of ravioli has the same size around the stuffing. When finished, dust them with flour, so that they do not stick together.
