To make the chocolate pasta:
- In a bowl or work surface, mix together the flour and cocoa powder.
- Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Mix together to form a dough. Slowly add just enough water and knead to make a smooth, soft dough.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, then wrap in plastic and allow to rest along with the plain pasta for one hour.
To make the goat cheese filling:
- In a medium bowl, beat together the raspberry chocolate goat cheese and mascarpone cheese until light.
- Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
To make the raspberry sauce:
- In a saucepan, stir together the raspberries, sugar, and 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) water over medium heat. Stir often to dissolve the sugar and break up the raspberries.
- Once the mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and stir in the vanilla.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) water.
- Add to the raspberries and continue to cook, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Allow to cool and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To make the chocolate sauce:
- Place the dark chocolate in a heat-safe bowl.
- Place the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium low heat.
- Once steaming, but not yet boiling, remove from heat and pour over the chocolate.
- Allow to sit for a minute before whisking until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Divide among dipping bowls for serving.
To assemble the ravioli:
- Divide the plain pasta dough in half. Remove one half to a floured work surface and keep the other half covered.
- Use a pasta machine, flouring as need, to gradually roll out the dough to the thinnest setting.
- Flour the ravioli mold and cover with a sheet of pasta. Push down with the white piece of the mold to create cavities.
- Remove the white piece and fill each cavity with a spoonful of the goat cheese filling. Top with another sheet of pasta and use a rolling pin to seal and cut out the individual ravioli.
- Remove and separate the ravioli and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment. Repeat with remaining dough, chocolate dough, and filling.
- Fill a pot or deep fryer with at least two inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Add a few of the prepared ravioli at a time, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry on each side until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes total. Be careful not to overcook or the filling may burst.
- Remove to a towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining ravioli.
- Dust the fried ravioli with powdered sugar and serve immediately with raspberry and chocolate dipping sauces. Caution: the filling will be hot straight out of the fryer.
