Geeky Cooking - Ravioli

We recently bought this ravioli stamp and today I decided to actually use it to make some delicious homemade ravioli! Now with my awesome pasta-maker machine (my mom bought me) it was so much fun and they came out YUMMYYY. Our youngest is having trouble eating lately and he is pretty skinny to begin with, so I try to cook nutritious and caloric meals. Well these ravioli are perfect! We are talking ground pork, beef, and turkey filling with parmigiano cheese, eggs and milk soaked bread. The fresh pasta is amazing too! The kids loved it! Not too diet friendly though ladies ;)

For the Fresh pasta you will need:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 

(you may need to add water or flour to get the right consistency)

What to do:

On a clean surface make a well with the flour. In a measuring cup mix the eggs, water and oil and salt. Pour the wet mixture slowly into the flour and mix with your hands until all of the wet is incorporated. Form the dough into a disk and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour to rest.

For the meat and cheese filling you may use your favorite meatloaf recipe or for mine you will need:

• 1/4 pound ground turkey
• 1/4 pound ground beef
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 1 slice bread
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• salt
• pepper
• oregano
  

What to do:

Combine all the ingredients in one big bowl. Mix with your hands until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined but do not squeeze the meat.

For the ravioli:

What to do:



Using the fresh pasta recipe, roll out your dough either by hand or by machine.
After you have rolled the pasta out into sheets, cut the sheet into an even amount of squares (we used our ravioli stamp!). Using a teaspoon fill the center of half with the filling. Brush around the filling with egg wash and place the remaining squares on top. Press down around the seal to push out any air bubbles.
In half a gallon of rapidly boiling salted water add the ravioli in batches of about ten at a time.
They are delicious with browned butter and freshly grated parmigiano.
