Creating your own pasta dough is a joy, but taking it to the next level with homemade ravioli allows your culinary creativity to truly shine. In her latest video, Mamma Giuliana guides you step-by-step through the ravioli-making process, sharing her invaluable tips along the way.

Types of Ravioli Stamps

There are two main types of ravioli stamps to help you achieve uniform shapes:

1. Ravioli Tray: Lay your first sheet of pasta on the tray, press down into the holes to create spaces for the filling, cover with another sheet of pasta, then seal and roll to separate the shapes.
2. Single Stamps: These stamps cut out individual ravioli shapes after you’ve filled and layered the pasta sheets.

Tips for Perfect Ravioli

1. Prevent Drying: Pasta dough might dry out while preparing the ravioli. Brush a little water along the edges to ensure proper sealing.
2. Seal Properly: Make sure the edges are tightly closed to prevent the filling from escaping during cooking.
3. Remove Air: Push all the air out of the ravioli before sealing them to avoid inflation and bursting when boiled.

Have Fun and Experiment!

Once you’ve mastered the technique, experiment with different shapes and fillings. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

• Classic Cheese and Spinach: A mix of ricotta, spinach, and Parmesan.
• Butternut Squash and Sage: Sweet and savory, perfect for autumn.
• Mushroom and Truffle Oil: Earthy and rich, ideal for a gourmet touch.

Enjoy the process and let your creativity flow. Soon enough, you’ll be making ravioli like a pro!
