This recipe is just delightful, it’s also a pretty great way to sneak in a few extra veggies. We use the Grain Free Pasta Recipe to make this a grain free ravioli. We also love to pair it with the Thermomix Cheese Sauce to complete the meal.

Description
This recipe was featured on The 4 Blades blog in 2016. We were so excited to create a grain free pasta recipe! When we were able to use it to create a ravioli that can be filled with a yummy chicken and vegetable mix, we were even more excited! Each component of this dish (especially the completely delicious light cheese sauce!) can be served separately or used as a part of another meal.

Instructions
- Add potato starch (100g), tapioca starch (150g), eggs (3), xanthan gum (1.5 tsp) and oil (40g) to the bowl. Combine Speed 6 / 10 seconds.
- Turn out the dough onto a bench floured with tapioca starch. Roll together in a ball. Wrap in clingfilm and transfer to the fridge.
Chicken and vegetable filling:
- Add the garlic cloves (2), onion (1), carrot (100g) and zucchini (100g) to the bowl. Mix Speed 6 / 1 second. Scrape down sides.
- Program 6 minutes / Steaming Temperature / Reverse+Stirring Speed.
- Slice chicken breast (300g) horizontally to make 2 thin breasts. Place the chicken breasts in the lower dish of your steaming attachment.
- Add the tomatoes (400g), Italian seasoning (2 tsp) and stock paste (25g) to the bowl. Set the steaming attachment in place. Program 18 minutes / Steaming Temperature / Reverse+Speed 2, measuring cap on.
- Once the filling is cooking, take the pasta dough out of the fridge and divide into 4 parts. Using a rolling pin or pasta machine, roll a piece of dough out into a large, paper thin sheet of dough. Cut each sheet into squares with approx. 12cm sides. Set the squares aside to be filled later.
- Make sure the chicken is cooked through. If so, add the cooked chicken and egg (1) to the bowl. Mix Reverse+Speed 4 / 10 seconds.
- Fill pasta with chicken mixture. Press the edges down with a fork.
