Instructions
Making homemade ravioli is easy and fun. Here are the basic steps for making your own ravioli:
- Mix the flours and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center.
- Add the oil, eggs, and warm water to the flour mixture and stir until it forms a dough. Knead the dough for a few minutes and then let it rest for about 20 minutes.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface. Cut into circles using a biscuit cutter or tumbler.
- Fill each circle of dough with a teaspoon of filling and moisten the edges of the dough with water.
- Fold the ravioli over the filling, pressing out all the air bubbles and seal the edges. Trim off any excess dough.
- Place the ravioli on a baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to cook. They can also be frozen and stored in an airtight container.
- When ready to cook, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for about 8 minutes, until they are tender. Serve with your favorite sauce!
