1/4 cup vermouth
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Pinch of ground nutmeg
Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Place cream and garlic in medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and allow to cook until cream has reduced to 1 cup. Whisk in vermouth, lemon zest, cheese and nutmeg and cook until sauce has thickened and cheese has melted. Season with salt and pepper. To finish: Divide pasta dough into 4 portions and wrap the unused portions in plastic wrap to prevent drying. Using a pasta machine, roll dough into long sheets with the thinnest setting possible without the dough tearing. Cut 2-inch circles of dough and place one teaspoon of artichoke/ricotta filling in center of dough. Brush perimeter of ravioli with egg wash and place another circle of dough over filling. Pinch tightly to seal seam. Place on flour dusted sheet until ready to cook. Repeat until all the dough has been filled. Cook ravioli in gently boiling salted water until tender, about 5 minutes.
