    How to make ravioli using a pasta maker

     

    Using a pasta maker is one sure-fire way of getting thin, even pasta sheets every time. Simply follow these steps:

     

    1. Add your flour to the machine. On most machines, you’ll usually add the dry ingredients before the wet, but check your manufacturer’s guidelines just in case.
    2. Close the lid and select the correct programme. Check the correct programme for the model you’re using, suited to the pasta shape you’re trying to achieve.
    3. Slowly pour your wet ingredients into the dry mix. Then simply watch your pasta maker get to work.

        How to make ravioli pasta by hand

         

        A little more time and elbow grease is required without a pasta maker, but you can get great results with the following steps:

         

        1. Measure out your flour into a pile. Always us a clean surface. Create a well in the centre and add your egg yolk.
        2. Mix the flour and egg. Use your hands to mix well, until the ingredients come together.
        3. Fold additional flour into your dough. You need to work it vigorously to increase its elasticity. Take care to avoid your dough drying out, and ensure you only knead the dough for around 10 minutes maximum. Remember: knead with gusto!
        4. Tightly wrap your dough up in plastic. Allow it to rest for at least an hour, before rolling it out to at least half an inch in thickness.
        5. Now you’re ready to cut your ravioli. Before you’re finished, however, you’ll need a tasty ravioli filling recipe. Read on for two simple recipes for delicious fillings.
