How to make ravioli

---

In theory, making ravioli is fairly simple: just roll out wide bands of thin fresh pasta dough and encase small pieces of pre-prepared filling between two sheets of pasta.

In practice, it's a bit trickier than that and having the right equipment is important.

This recipe shows you how to make beautiful ravioli step by step.

Step by step recipe

---

Stage 1

Prepare 300 g Fresh pasta dough, prefarably the day before, and leave in the fridge to rest for several hours or overnight, wrapped in plastic film.

---

Stage 2

Cut the dough into lumps of about 3 ounces (75 grams) and roll out the first one with a rolling pin, roughly into a strip.

Pass this strip through the pasta machine on its thickest setting ("1" if you have a Kenwood like mine).

---

Stage 3 - 10 min.

Pass through several more times, reducing the thickness each time by 1 setting, until the pasta is quite thin ("7" or "8* on the Kenwood).

Note: as it gets thinner, the pasta strip will get longer.

---

Stage 4 - 2 min.

When the strip is the right thickness, lay on a lightly floured worktop and cut into 2 pieces to fit the size of your ravioli mould.

---

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Flour the ravioli mould generously.

---

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Lay a strip of pasta over the mould. This should overhang a little all round.

---

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Fill each hollow with your chosen filling mixture (here it is spinach and ricotta with pine nuts).

---

Stage 8 - 2 min.

Use a brush dipped in water to moisten the pasta all around the hollows to help the second sheet stick.

---

Stage 9 - 1 min.

Moisten the second sheet of pasta all over.

---

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Place the second sheet of pasta moistened side downwards on top of the mould.

Press to seal the layers of pasta.

---

Stage 11 - 2 min.

Roll over the top with a rolling pin to cut the ravioli, first in one direction...

---

Stage 12 - 2 min.

...then in the other.

---

Stage 13 - 2 min.

Peel away the pasta trimmings.

---

Stage 14 - 3 min.

Then take the ravioli out of the mould...

---

Stage 15 - 3 min.

...and place on a wire rack.

Remove any excess flour with a dry brush.

Your ravioli are ready for cooking or freezing.

---

Stage 16 - 40 min.

Repeat the whole process with the remaining dough, adding in the trimmings from step 13 of the first batch.

---

Stage 17

At the end you will no doubt have a little dough left over.

This need not go to waste: roll the dough out thinly and simply cut into tagliatelle with a knife.

Remarks

It isn't easy to get the dough to the ideal thickness: too thick and the texture is unpleasant to eat, too thin and it will tear during filling. Do make a note of the settings on your pasta machine when you find the right ones, so that you will know for next time.
