Ingredients

• 12 pieces Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 sheets Fresh pasta sheets
• 1 piece Egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 28-ounce can Crushed tomatoes, canned
• 0.25 cup Vodka
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 4 leaves Basil leaves, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the shrimp filling: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Chop the cooked shrimp finely and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a cohesive filling.

Step 3

Lay out 6 pasta sheets on a clean surface. Place small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) of the shrimp filling onto the sheets, spacing them evenly. Brush the edges of the pasta sheets with beaten egg.

Step 4

Lay the remaining pasta sheets over the filling, pressing around each mound to seal. Use a ravioli cutter or sharp knife to cut out individual ravioli. Ensure the edges are sealed tightly to prevent leakage.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. While waiting, start the tomato vodka cream sauce.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, vodka, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10 minutes to cook off the alcohol and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Step 9

Cook the ravioli: Gently drop the prepared ravioli into the boiling water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Step 10

Plate the ravioli and spoon the tomato vodka cream sauce over them. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and additional grated Parmesan, if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy this luxurious dish!
