Method
 

Start Your Tarragon Pasta First
  1. Pour 00 flour and coarse salt into a large bowl. Mix. Make a well in the center. Drop in your eggs, chopped tarragon, and oil.
  2. Working from the inside out, gradually stir the eggs into the flour, incorporating more flour, little at a time
  3. Once your flour and eggs are mixed, move to a clean floured surface. Knead for 4-5 minutes, until your dough is smooth.
  4. Place in a boil and cover with plastic wrap. Allow your dough to rest for at least half an hour.
Ravioli Filling
  1. Drizzle olive oil into a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic. Saute until translucent. Remove from heat.
  2. In a small bowl, mix chopped fresh lobster, shallots, garlic, and ricotta.
  3. Zest 1/4 of a lemon, then squeeze juice from 1/2 of a lemon into your mixture.
  4. Add salt, peppercorn, and stir.
  5. Place in the fridge.
Rolling Pasta
  1. Using a rolling pin, roll your pasta out until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Using a pasta roller, move your dough through the press until it is thin and flexible (Option 5, on a KitchenAid Press)
  2. Using a circular cookie cutter, cut your dough into circles. Place under a clean damp kitchen towel so they do not dry out.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, place down 1/2 of your circles. Add one heaping tablespoon of lobster mixture on top. Brush the edges with egg wash, then seal with the other 1/2 of your pasta circles.
  4. Carefully press out all of the air to ensure your ravioli do not explode when boiled.
  5. Using a fork, press down the edges. Cover your pasta with a damp clean kitchen towel.
Cooking & Assembly
  1. Bring a shallow pot of water to a rumbling boil. Add salt.
  2. Carefully drop your ravioli one at a time into the water using a slotted spoon. Remove when they float (approximately 2 minutes in)
  3. Place in a bowl, and drizzle with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, fresh tarragon, and fresh truffles
  4. Serve alongside a bright, tart glass of wine!
  5. Enjoy!
