Homemade Ravioli

1. In a large bowl whisk the flour and salt.
2. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the eggs and oil. Use a fork to mix the eggs, trying not to mix in too much flour.
3. Use your hands to slowly mix in the flour until it comes together into a shaggy ball.
4. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead the dough for 8-10 minutes. It might seem dry at first, but it will come together. If it hasn't started to come together after 5-6 minutes, wet your hands and keep kneading. Form the dough into a ball and put it back into the bowl, covered with a clean, damp kitchen towel, for 30 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into four pieces. Working with one piece at a time, flatten it slightly with the palm of your hand and then run it through the widest setting on your pasta machine. Fold the dough so that it resembles a rectangular package then run it through again at the widest setting. Continue to run it through, narrowing the opening, until it is just thin enough to see through. Setting #7 is usually right. Repeat with the remaining dough.
6. Lay one rectangular piece of dough on your work surface. Spoon or pipe about 1 teaspoon of your filling in dots on top of your pasta and then lay another piece of dough on top. Press gently around the filling to remove any air pockets and seal the pasta.
7. Cut the pasta out using a stamp, roller, or cookie cutter.
8. To cook the pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 2-3 minutes. Once they float to the top they are done. Drain the pasta and toss with olive oil or sauce.

How to make homemade ravioli:

1. Follow these step-by-step instructions to make perfect homemade ravioli every time – chef's kiss!
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the flour and salt.
3. Make a well for the wet ingredients: Make a well in the center of the flour and add the eggs and oil. Use a fork to mix the eggs, but try not to mix in too much flour as you do this.
4. Form a ball of dough: Use your hands to slowly mix in the flour until it comes together in a ball.
5. Knead and rest: Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes. If the dough hasn't started to come together after 5-6 minutes, wet your hands and keep kneading. Form the dough into a ball and put it back into the bowl, covered with a clean, damp kitchen towel, for 30 minutes.
6. Get out the pasta maker: Divide the dough into four pieces. Working with one piece at a time, flatten it slightly with the palm of your hand and then run it through the widest setting on your pasta machine. Fold the dough so that it resembles a rectangular package then run it through again at the widest setting. Continue to run it through, narrowing the opening on the pasta machine, until it is just thin enough to see through. Repeat this process with the remaining 3 pieces of dough. This should leave you with long sheets of pasta.
7. Filling: Lay a single layer of dough on your work surface. Spoon or pipe about 1 teaspoon of your filling in dots on top of your pasta. Make sure to leave some space between the dots so you can cut out your ravioli. Then, lay another piece of dough on top. Press gently around the filling to remove any air pockets and seal the pasta.
8. Stamping: Cut the pasta out using a stamp or cookie cutter.
9. Cook: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. It should taste like the sea, so nice and salty water. Add the ravioli and cook for 2-3 minutes. Once they float to the top they are done. Drain the pasta or use a slotted spoon to remove them from the water. Toss with olive oil or sauce.
10. There you have it! Delicious, made from scratch with lots of love, homemade ravioli!
