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.

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).
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 12 - ⌛ 2 min.
...then in the other.
Stage 13 - ⌛ 2 min.

Stage 14 - ⌛ 3 min.

Stage 16 - ⌛ 40 min.
Repeat the whole process with the remaining dough, adding in the trimmings from stage 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.
Keeping: A few days in the fridge, cowvered with plastic film. Freezes well.
