Using a box grater over a large bowl, remove the corn from the cob. Make sure you get right down to the cob to catch as much of the corn starch (that runny liquid that oozes while grating) as possible.

Place the flour into a large wide mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Break the eggs into the well and add the salt. With a fork, begin to gently beat the eggs in a circular motion, incorporating about one-half of the flour.

Ask a question about this stepRepeat the folding and rolling process for the three remaining pieces of dough. Roll each piece of dough according to the recipe above - see step five.
Ask a question about this stepTHANKS! It's one of my favorites. I keep it in my freezer for a quick gourmet dinner when I need something delicious and quick!
Thanks so much!
WOW - love this! Love the idea of it, the look and I'm sure it was incredibly delicious!
It was even more tasty than I'd imagined. But now I'm obsessed with this beet ravioli recipe with a mustard-marmalade brown butter sauce with beet stem rubies. I'll post it as soon as I finish writing it up.
What a fascinating inspiration for a recipe! It's intriguing, and I must try this.
Thanks so much! Give it a try and let me know how it turns out!
I was lucky enough to be sitting at Sarah's kitchen table armed with a knife and fork while she tested this a million times and eventually perfected it. Awesome raviolis - you will want to eat 50 of them.
Thanks, Em!
Mmm, great story and lovely dish!
Thanks! I was still excited to eat it even after making 300 of them!

Delicious!! I made two batches back to back and am planning to make it again next week for an 'impress the guests' type dinner. Great, interesting, crisp summer flavors!
