Preparation

Step 1

Make the pasta dough as directed in the master recipe.

To make the filling: Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl, stirring to incorporate.

To make the sauce: Coat a wide saute pan with olive oil and place over medium heat. When the oil gets hazy, add the onions, garlic, and anchovies; cook and stir for 5 minutes until fragrant and soft. Add the olives, capers, and hand torn basil. Carefully add the tomatoes (nothing splashes like tomatoes), cook and stir over low heat, until the liquid is cooked down and the sauce is thick, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

This recipe yields 24 ravioli.
