Making Half-Moon Ravioli

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by rolling out your fresh pasta dough into a flat sheet on your work surface.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the Filling: Place a small amount of your ravioli filling in the center of each circle, leaving space around the edges for sealing.
  4. 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.
  5. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Cut the Squares: Use a sharp knife to cut the pasta into even-sized squares.
  5. 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.
