Preparation of Ravioli with prawns and cherry tomatoes

1. On a cutting board, make a well with the flour and crack the eggs in the centre, add oil and salt.
   Start by beating the eggs with a fork and gradually incorporate the flour so that the liquids do not spill out, adding a few tablespoons of water if necessary.
   Continue stirring until the mixture is fairly compact.
2. Now knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth and firm. Cover it with cling film and leave it to rest while you prepare the filling.
3. Mash the potatoes and mix them with the chopped shrimps, robiola cheese, salt and pepper.
4. Now assemble the ravioli.
5. Roll out the dough, cut it with a heart-shaped cutter and place the filling in the centre. Finally, close the ravioli by placing another layer of pasta on top. To seal the two parts, you can help yourself with the tines of a fork.
6. Put a pot of water on the stove and bring it to the boil. In the meantime, sauté the halved cherry tomatoes and basil leaves in a non-stick pan with a little oil, seasoning with salt.
7. Cook the ravioli in salted water and, once cooked, drain them, dry them on a towel and serve on a plate with the sautéed cherry tomatoes, a generous grating of salted ricotta and a drizzle of mild extra virgin olive oil.
