Homemade Vegan Ravioli Hearts

Hey my dears,

In a few days it’s already Valentine’s Day. Due to this, I have a delicious recipe for homemade vegan heart ravioli that will definitely conquer all hearts. And not only because they’re so delicious, but also because they’re without any animal products and even look so cute. You know, you eat with your eyes (first).

Anyways, I’m not a big fan of such “festivities”, as I just don‘t like this consumerism, but what I like otherwise is a themed occasion to be creative again.

Most of the ravioli or stuffed pasta pockets that you can buy in supermarkets aren‘t vegan as they also contain some undesirable ingredients such as additives and flavor enhancers. So I prefer to make ravioli by myself and that‘s even easier than most people think.

For this recipe you need only a few ingredients, because the pasta dough is just made of flour, water, sea salt and olive oil. These ingredients are simply kneaded and formed into a ball, which then goes into the fridge for one hour. Later you simply roll out the dough and cut or stamp it as you like.
For this process, I use different ravioli forms or cutters, which I have at home. Here I linked some -> “kitchenware“. For these heart ravioli, I just used a big [amazon_textlink asin=’B005CTLJP4′ text=’heart cookie cutter‘ template=’ProductLink’ store=’fitnessbianca-21′ marketplace=’DE’ link_id=’7b52a2b3-0e47-11e8-8c71-f97dba9cbd7e’].

You can create the filling from all sorts of vegetables and creams suitable to your mood. Also pestos are great as a filling. If you enter “pesto” in the search function here on my blog, you can also find some yummy recipes. For these ravioli hearts I chose my “Pesto Rosso” recipe.

When I start making ravioli, I usually prepare more, because you can easily freeze them to have enough in stock and then just defrost them when you‘ll crave ravioli.
If I still have ravioli leftovers from the day before, I usually roast them crispy in olive oil or vegan butter. Another of my favorites is the combination with mushrooms. The instruction for the preparation can be found here: “Crispy Roasted Gnocchi with Garlic Mushrooms and Pine nuts“.

But now enough writing. Let’s finally start with the recipe:
