Meat Ravioli with Red Pesto Sauce

Preparation

1. For the ravioli dough: knead the ingredietns together to form a smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and allow to chill for approx. 30 minutes.
2. For the filling: fry the minced meat and onion in the hot oil. Add the tomato puree, garlic, herbs and spices and allow to cool. Add the QimiQ Sauce Base, egg and Parmesan and mix well.
3. Roll the dough out as thinly as possible on a lightly floured surface and cut in half. Place teaspoonfuls of the filling mixture about 1cm apart on one of the sheets of dough and moisten the gaps with water. Cover with the second sheet, pressing down gently around the mounds of filling to squeeze out the air pockets. Cut into squares around the filling using a pastry wheel and press the edges firmly to seal.
4. For the red pesto sauce: blend the olive oil with the dried tomatoes, olives, Parmesan, tomato puree, vinegar and garlic together until smooth.
5. Add the QimiQ Sauce Base and vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Season to taste with the salt and pepper and refine with the basil.
6. Place the ravioli in boiling salted water, reduce the heat and continue to cook until done.
7. Lift the ravioli out of the water, toss carefully in the red pesto sauce and serve immediately.
