Preparation

Step 1

Mix the flour with the oil, water and a pinch of salt until a smooth and homogenous dough forms. Wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. On a clean work surface, use a rolling pin or pasta machine to roll out sheets of dough about 1/16 inch (2 mm) thick. Using a fluted pastry wheel, cut out 3-inch (8 cm) dough squares. Transfer the squares to a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for about 12 minutes.

Whisk the ricotta with the oil, oregano, olive pesto, salt and pepper. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag and pipe a bit of filling onto a square of dough. Place another square on top, like a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining squares and filling. Garnish with mixed greens and drizzle with the olive oil.
