You will need:
Ravioli Pasta Dough:
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt
3 to 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Combine eggs, egg yolks, olive oil, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer
fitted with the dough hook attachment. Add 3 cups flour and begin mixing dough
on lowest speed. Bring speed to medium-low and knead until smooth,
occasionally stopping mixer to pull dough off hook and adding more flour as necessary
to keep dough from sticking, about 10 minutes. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate
at least 1 hour before using. Sheet out just enough when filled ( not too thin).
Trim excess edges, slice in 6-7 inches wide slabs.Eggwash the whole surface. Scoop uncooked filling
leaving 1 inch allowance to form small pouches or pockets. You may use cookie cutters or a traditonal
ravioli cutter or as simple as a knife to cut into triangles or squeares.
Cooking immediately after shaping: prepare onto a plate, boil pasta water seasoned with salt.
Storing uncooked ravioli: Toss in flour.Place in a seal-in-bag or airtight container and freeze.
Defrost for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
For ravioil pasta trimmings: you may chop it and use as dumplings for your Asian inspired soups.
