Ingredients

How to make it

  • Put flour on a pastry board or in a bowl
  • Make a "well" in the center
  • Put egg yolks, salt and water into center of the flour
  • Stir carefully with a fork until liquid is mixed into flour, forming a soft dough
  • Knead dough on board until all flour is incorporated
  • Continue to knead in small amounts of additional flour until dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes
  • Cover dough with a bowl and let rest for 30 minutes
  • Cut dough into 4 lumps and roll out each lump on a lightly floured board
  • Make each rolled out lump of equal size to the other
  • Cover rolled sheets of dough with a damp towel to prevent drying while rolling out the rest
  • Brush 2 of the sheets lightly with water
  • On the 2 brushed sheets, put small balls of filling about 1 1/2 inches apart
  • Cover filled sheets with the 2 remaining sheets, pushing the dough tightly around each ball of filling
  • Cut into 2 inch squares
  • Place ravioli on a lightly floured towel
  • Sprinkle lightly with flour and let stand 30 minutes
  • Cook ravioli in boiling water or bouillon for 7 - 10 minutes
  • Remove with slotted spoon
  • Place a layer of ravioli into a serving bowl
  • Spoon some Tomato Sauce over ravioli and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese
  • Continue layering until bowl is full
  • Step # 2a Meat Filling Directions
  • Combine all ingredients and blend well into a smooth paste
  • Shape mixture into small balls the size of a large olive
  • Step # 2b Cheese Filling Directions
  • Combine all ingredients and put small spoonfuls on dough
  • Step # 3 Tomato Sauce Directions
  • Blend tomato paste with water.
  • Add tomatoes, oil and garlic
  • Simmer for 25 minutes, or until sauce has reduced by 1/3, stirring occasionally
  • Remove garlic and give mixture a whirl in the blender
  • Add remaining ingredients, season with salt and pepper
  • Continue simmering until sauce reduces by 1/2

    I agree that I will attempt this when I am feeling brave and I can't go outside to play (Hey that time of year is coming up). Can you make them ahead of time (the raviolis) and freeze them? That way I could make a big batch.

    I might attempt to make this. No pasta machine needed. Just me and my rolling pin. L.

    You are so right, a true 'from scratch' ravioli recipe takes some time and practice! Getting the dough just right can take some time, but when you succeed, it's worth the effort. I've never tried adding prosciutto and chicken, but I will now! Thanks for the new idea.
