- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- 5 spoonfuls of Whitality Goats Cheese
- A few diced walnuts

- Good amount of olive oil

For the dough:
- In a bowl, add buckwheat flour, quinoa flour and salt, whisk to combine.
- Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and add 1 egg, olive oil and water.
- With a fork, gently beat the egg mixture without incorporating any of the flour mixture.
- Now with the fork, begin mixing in the flour mixture, a little at a time, with a stirring motion, until the dough is too stiff to mix with the fork.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead and shape dough into a smooth ball.
- Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap/ damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
For the filling:
In a bowl combine goat cheese along with thinly sliced basil leaves, chopped walnuts and crushed garlic. Add salt and pepper and mix.
For the ravioli:
Prepare the ravioli,
- Working with half of the dough at a time, roll out to a 1/8 inch thickness, then cut into 3-inch circles. (or any size you have handy)
- Spoon a tablespoon of filling onto the centre of a dough circle, then moisten the edges with water.
- Top with another dough circle and press along the edges until ravioli is firmly sealed. Set aside on a lightly floured surface.
- In a pan, add the olive oil and crushed garlic. Sautee for a few minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Once fragrant, add cherry tomatoes and tomato purée and stir for a few minutes.
- Add salt and pepper. Cook for 20 min.
In a pan add the ravioli and the sauce according to your preferred pasta to sauce ratio and toss.
To serve, plate it up with some fresh basil, a dusting of parmesan and edible flowers.
