Kelani has become the official pasta maker. I do not know how you would make this without the little hand cranking machine to make the pasta.
the dough:
1egg
3/4 cup flour
Put the flour in a mound on the table. Put a hole (well) in the middle of the flour and add the egg. Blend the egg into the flour (Kelani uses a knife and then her hands) until you have a ball.
The ball then goes through the press on the number 1 setting. After it goes through fold the dough into thirds and repeat. Sometimes the dough will get holes in it, but that usually disappears on the next time through the machine. You pass the dough through the machine 5 times on the no 1 setting then change the setting to 2 and repeat again 5 times. Do this all the way up to through the no 5 setting. We then put the dough through the numer 6 setting just once.
Using a wine glass, cut circles out of the dough. Put about 1/2 a tablespoon of filling in and fold it over, seal the edges with a fork. We like to fill the circles with the spinach pesto.
To cook the ravioli boil water with some salt and a little olive oil. When it is boiling, add the raviolis, they will cook very quickly (about 3 minutes) and will float to the top when they are finished. If there is meat in your ravioli you may want to cook it longer or fry them.
Enjoy!
