Ravioli

6 servings (Dough recipe adapted from Marcato Raviolissima)

Place a pound of flour on a working surface and make a hole in the center

Break four eggs into the hole

With your hands gently begin mixing the flour with the eggs

To soften the mixture, add 1/2 oz of olive oil, a little water, or another egg may be added

Continue to knead the dough until smooth and uniform

Form a ball with the dough, place a towel over the dough so it does not get dry

Cut the dough into small slices. Pass the dough through the flat roller or your pasta maker. With your width dial, turn to number one

Once the dough has been fed through, fold the sheet of dough into two and pass through

Repeat folding and passing the sheet of dough through the rollers several times, lightly flour the sheets each time to keep it smooth

Each time you pass the the dough through, reduce the thickness on the dial (going up one number at a time).

 

Using the Raviolissma, place sheet a folded sheet of dough over the Raviolissma, put folded end in the Raviolissma; use one tablespoon of ravioli filling to place on top, crank slowly as the filling fills each pocket. Repeat until all is filled in each sheet of dough.

OR

Use a pasta roller, I found mine on Amazon for $16. (Pasta Roller) I find the roller to be a lot easier and you can put more filling inside the raviolis.

 

1. In a large stock pot boil water.
2. Add ravioli to boiling water and boil for 8 to 10 minutes.
3. In a large sauce pan add chopped sage, 4 garlic cloves, and a stick of butter. Saute until golden brown and/or crispy.
4. Strain ravioli from water and add to sauce pan. Coat ravioli with garlic, sage sauce and crisp the raviolis just a tad (about one minute).
5. Then serve 🙂
