Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh pasta dough
  • 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 2 pears, cored and diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Divide the pasta dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface until it is very thin.
  2. Spread the Gorgonzola cheese, pears, parsley, and Parmesan cheese over half of each dough sheet, leaving a 1/2 inch border around the edges.
  3. Brush the edges with the olive oil and fold the dough over the filling. Use a fork to press down on the edges and seal the ravioli.
  4. Cut the ravioli into desired shapes and place them on a lightly floured baking sheet.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender.
  6. Drain the ravioli and serve with Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
