Ingredients

Instructions

  • Please look at the step-by-step photos in post above.
  • Roll out ⅙th or ¼ of your dough at a time, keeping any dough not being used tightly wrapped.
  • Place a rolled out pasta sheet on a wooden cutting board and place your mold on it to cut out two pieces that are bigger all the way around by about 2cm.
  • Dust one of the pieces with flour and rub over the surface so it has a nice even layer of flour on it. Put the second piece aside for now.
  • Place the floured piece, floured side down into the inside of the mold.
  • Use a pastry brush or your fingers to push the pasta down into the filling indent.
  • Pipe or spoon the filling into the gaps and then use the back of a teaspoon or your finger to gently push the filling down and to make it level across the top.
  • Place the second piece of pasta (with no flour on it) on top and then use a rolling pin to gently roll over the top. Don't use too much pressure.
  • Gently but quickly, flip the mold over then press down on top of it firmly.
  • Holding down one of the corners of the over hanging pasta, gently ease the mold off the pasta.
  • Because you have floured the side that went in it should come away really cleanly.
  • Trim the edges and separate the ravioli and place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and dusted with semolina.
