Ravioli

Updated: Mar 29, 2020

To make these delicious Ravioli, you will first need to make pasta dough. You can find the recipe for this dough here.

Equipment:

-Rolling Pin, Pasta Crank, or a wine bottle works as well

-Knife or Pasta Stamps

Ingredients:

-More Flour

-Water (Italian Glue)

-Ravioli Filling (Find some example recipes below)

Instructions:

1. After you've created the dough and it is not to sticky, start rolling it out using a rolling pin or pasta crank. If you are using a rolling pin, make sure to dust the counter top with flour and flip the dough as you continue to roll it out. I like to dust the flat dough as I flip the dough. You know that you are done when the dough is somewhat transparent, you should be able to make out the design of your counter underneath it. For Ravioli, thinner sheets of pasta are better.

2. When the dough has been rolled out, it's time to start stamping out the Ravioli shapes. You can use a stamp or a knife to cut out the shapes. If you use knife they just won't be even and it will be a little harder to fold them. Pick the shape you want to do and start stamping the dough to make as many of the shapes as possible. I like to use the square and use a fold method for easy and quick Ravioli and the circle and combine method for more impressive Ravioli. If you are using a knife then you should use the fold method.

Protip: If you are using a pasta stamp and have dough scraps, tear them into small pieces, put them into a tupperware, and save them for in the fridge or freezer for soup noodles.

3. To use the combine method, take two Ravioli shapes and wet the edges with water. Then put a little bit of filling in the center. My fillings normally consist of ricotta mixed with other flavorings like mozzarella, pesto, parmesan, or truffle oil. You can find those recipes below. then pinch the sides of the Ravioli together. Don't add too much filling or the Raviolis will explode in the water.

4. To use the fold method, you will only use one Ravioli shape, add a bit of filling, wet the edges with water, and then fold and pinch together.

5. After creating all your Ravioli bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once it is boiling add salt to the water. Add the Ravioli and cook for 5 minutes for al dente pasta. Then drain and serve with a sauce of your choice.
