Once the mixture is homogeneous, knead by hand for 5 minutes, until the dough is compact, smooth and elastic (add water if it's dry or flour if it's too sticky).
  2. Form into a ball and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together the ricotta, Parmesan, walnuts, tomatoes, garlic and thyme. Check seasoning.
  4. In a frying pan, sweat the shallot in the fat of your choice.
  5. Add the cream and stock. Check seasoning. Keep warm.
  6. Lightly flour the dough and, using the rolling pin or a rolling pin on the work surface, roll out the dough.
  7. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut the dough into an even number of pieces.
  8. Divide the filling between half the dough pieces. Place a heart of dough on top of each piece. To close each ravioli, press the edges together.
  9. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, then plunge the ravioli into the boiling water and cook for around 3 minutes. Drain.
  10. Divide the ravioli between the plates and top with the sauce.
