My friends Leslie and Christian were kind enough to share a series of photos that they took while making ravioli a few weeks ago. The photos tell the story — the only piece of the story that’s missing is what happens between the dough ball stage and the finished ravioli. Let me explain here:
After the simple dough is made, it is run through a pasta maker to create thin rectangular sheets. These sheets are trimmed to fit a ravioli press, which consists of a plastic mold that looks like an ice tray (with circular instead of square molds) and a metal plate with holes in it where the ice tray fits. The dough sits on the metal plate and the plastic mold presses cavities for the ravioli filling into the dough. These are filled with meat, cheese, or whatever your heart desires. Then, another flat noodle sheet is pressed onto the backs of the ravioli.
Check out the photos! Thanks Leslie and Christian.
