Instructions
- Mound the flour and semolina flour on your work surface, form a well in the center with your hands, and add the rest of the ingredients. Carefully incorporate everything until the dough is no longer sticky, roll it into a smooth ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

- Grate a frozen mozzarella ball and mix well with lemon zest and peppercorns.
- Spoon the cheese mixture onto the salami slices.
- Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares.
- Fold the dough squares diagonally onto themselves and press down to seal the edges. You can also brush an egg wash around the dough edges to help it stick.
- Firmly press down on the edges with a fork to give the dough the typical ravioli look.
- Boil the pasta in salted water until al dente.
- First fry the onion and garlic off in a pan with some olive oil.
- Put the tomatoes on a wooden skewer and roast them over the open flame of a gas stove.
- Add the tomatoes, onions, garlic, and fresh herbs to a blender and pulse briefly.
- Pour the fire-roasted tomato sauce over the pizza ravioli and your dish is ready to be served. Simply delicious!
