Tools You’ll Need
- Glass
- Knife
- Fork
Making Half-Moon Ravioli
- Prepare the Dough: Start by rolling out your fresh pasta dough into a flat sheet on your work surface.
- Cut the Circles: Use a glass to cut out equal-sized circles from the pasta sheet. You can choose any glass size depending on how big you want your ravioli.
- Add the Filling: Place a small amount of your ravioli filling in the center of each circle, leaving space around the edges for sealing.
- Form the Ravioli: Fold the circles in half to form a semi-circle or half-moon shape. Ensure you press out any air pockets before sealing the edges with your fingers.
- Seal and Crimp: Use a fork to crimp the edges, giving your ravioli a polished look and ensuring they stay closed during cooking.
Making Square Ravioli
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out your fresh pasta dough into a flat sheet. Fold the sheet in half to create a crease or mark the middle.
- Add the Filling: Spoon small amounts of filling at equal intervals along one half of the pasta sheet, up to the crease. Leave enough space between each spoonful to seal the ravioli.
- Form the Ravioli: Fold the other half of the pasta sheet over the filling. Press down around each mound of filling to remove any air pockets.
- Cut the Squares: Use a sharp knife to cut the pasta into even-sized squares.
- Seal and Crimp: Ensure each ravioli is well-sealed with your fingers, then use a fork to crimp the edges for a professional finish.
Tips for Perfect Ravioli
- Remove Air: Make sure to push out any air before sealing to prevent the ravioli from inflating and splitting during cooking.
- Crimping: Crimping the edges with a fork not only looks good but also helps to keep the ravioli sealed.
