Sweet giant - Giant tortelloni with ricotta, caramelized red onion and poppy seeds

I was planning to use sweet potatoes for this week's sweet alternative, but unfortunately it was impossible to find them. The recipe would have been quite different, but I'll leave it for future proposals.
So I used some of the ricotta I had left in the fridge and adjusted the stuffing accordingly. The inspiration came from the jam made from red onions of Tropea that too I couldn't find nor did I have time to make. But as we know, by using the Maillard reaction we can turn our onions to something sweet.

Yield: 4-6 servings

Dough
  • 200gr flour
  • 2 eggs
Stuffing
  • 500gr ricotta
  • 3 red onions thinly chopped and gently fried in oil until very soft
  • poppy seeds



Put ricotta, then onion and top with poppy seeds on 15cm squares of pasta sheet.

Cook in lightly salted water, then toss in a frying pan with caramelized apple slices. Sprinkle with powdered cinnamon.
