Stitch in Thyme: Homemade Ravioli

This was my 1st attempt at homemade ravioli & it turned out wayyyyy better than I ever would of expected!! Almost one of those "to easy" recipes!!! How could it taste so yummy!

A very basic dough recipe that could be used for more that just ravioli.....

Ravioli Dough recipe

2 Cups flour - I just used all purpose

3 Eggs

pinch of salt

How easy is that!!

Just mix all together until well incorporated & knead for 10-15 minutes. I separated that into 2 pieces - chilled in the refrigerator for 1 hour. When I was getting ready to roll it out I then split the 2 balls of dough in half once again...more dough = more ravioli:)

It's hard to believe that a ball of dough could be transformed into this beautiful sheet of dough....I love my pasta maker:)

Then I floured my counter space & started to add the filling.....

I just made a cheese filling. Once you get the filling in brush an egg wash on top of the ravioli dough & in between the filling. This will be the binder. I just used 1 egg with 1 Tablespoon of water. Don't overdo the wash...a little egg goes a long way:)

I did the ravioli a couple of ways to see how I could get the most out of my dough.....I liked the "fold over" method the most ~ the above method was using 2 pieces of dough. For the fold over you would just put the filling a bit closer to the bottom & fold over....to easy!

Once sealed take your pizza cutter to cut raviolis to size & off with the ragged edges:) Seal edges with a fork and this is what you get....
