Ingredients
For the Filling
22 oz. fresh goat cheese, at room temperature
8 clove garlic, minced
¼ C. dry white wine
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
Zest of 2 lemons
1 C. finely chopped mixed fresh herbs (try any combination of flat-leaf parsley, tarragon, chervil, cilantro, thyme, basil, chives, or mint)
¼ C. panko
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Serves 16
Equipment Needed:
Large bowl
Cutting Board
Chef’s Knife
set of measuring spoons
microplane
½ cup measuring cup
rubber spatula
For the Pasta
2 C. AP flour
3 eggs, beaten
Kosher salt
Water if necessary
Cut pasta dough into 3 equal pieces. Flatten the first piece of dough on a floured work surface; roll with a rolling pin 5 or 6 times. Turn the dough 45 degrees and roll again, 5 to 6 times. Keep rolling and turning in the same direction until dough has a consistent thickness of about 1/16-inch. Repeat with remaining 2 pieces of pasta dough.
Gently transfer 1 pasta sheet to a floured surface and cut in half to form 2 evenly sized rectangles. Drop about 1 teaspoon filling onto 1 rectangle, spacing the filling about 1-inch apart. Brush the spaces around the filling with water.
Lay the second rectangle on top of the first. Gently squeeze out the air around the filling and press firmly with your hands to seal the edges and all dough around the filling.
Cut square ravioli shapes using a ravioli cutter. Transfer the ravioli to a floured plate or board. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Let the ravioli stand for about 30 minutes.
