Pipe your filling into the middle, then press down and smooth with a teaspoon so that it’s level with the top of the mold. Flouring the ravioli mold: What I found to work the very best was to have a pile of flour on my counter and then dip the metal ravioli frame into the flour so that it was covered in flour.
Cut your pasta sheets into squares just bigger than the size of the mold. Having some overhang is ideal because it will ensure that your ravioli fill the entire space of the mold. The half batch isn’t as time consuming and still makes a good amount of ravioli, so if this is your first time making ravioli, start with the half batch of ravioli dough. Homemade ravioli seems like a daunting task, doesn't it? You're not just making pasta, you're stuffing it too.

Handmade CucinabyElena two-in-one wood cutting and charcuterie board (seen above) sold here! What to do with leftover pasta scraps?
Most of the time, these are my tools. A machine is great, but making them by hand is almost the same amount of effort. My favorite is the double-cutter, as it gives me the most freedom. I love using the stamps, especially my high-end auto-sealing ones. Attach the pasta sheet roller to your stand mixer and set it to #1. Turn the stand mixer to speed setting 1 (or 2) and run the ravioli pasta dough through the pasta sheet roller. While on #1, fold the the dough in half and run it through again. Repeat at least 4 more times: fold dough in half, run it through pasta sheet roller, fold dough in half, run it through pasta sheet roller etc. With an abundance of different methods making ravioli, it might be difficult to choose the essential pasta tools and gear. Please remember that pasta is supposed to be simple and a fancy machine doesn’t automatically make for better ravioli or pasta in general.

The tools to make ravioli by hand – do you really need anything else?
Making ravioli with the Philips Pasta Maker
If you aren't eating the ravioli the same day it is best to freeze them right away for another time. If the fresh ravioli sit in the fridge for too long the filling might make the pasta dough soggy.
How to Freeze Ravioli -sprinkle the ravioli with semolina flour. Lay them flat on a cookie sheet in an even layer and freeze. Once they are frozen transfer them to a freezer safe bag. Store for up to 3 months.Should you buy the KitchenAid ravioli maker? If you want to, yes! I certainly did! Especially if you already own the KitchenAid Pasta Maker Set (my review), you’ll have a powerful pasta & ravioli maker at your disposal. All combined into one machine. Although an all-yolk dough is rich and decadent, it’s not as pliable. When making ravioli (and other shapes that you need to stretch and fold) it’s best to have a few whole eggs in your dough, since the egg whites add water and thus, plasticity. Here’s our go-to dough recipe for ravioli. Pastry brush - This is quite important as it helps push the pasta sheet into the mold to make room for the filling. Not long ago we launched our first-ever ravioli mold in collaboration with woodworker, John Francis Designs. We’ve been working on this mold since last February and now that it’s finally here, we’re excited to dive deep into ravioli-making. I explain how to fill the pasta sheet layers with each of these tools in the Methods for Making and Sealing Ravioli section of this post.
Save your pasta scraps! Keep the scraps and boil until al dente and serve with butter and cheese or a simple sauce. A general rule of thumb is to use 100g of pasta flour for each egg, although I prefer weighing the egg (without the shell) and multiplying by 1.75. Second, fill the ravioli with a small mound of filling- 1 small teaspoon per ravioli. Do not overfill or they will be hard to seal and likely burst while cooking. The molds are made of aluminum and are of good quality and build. And, the bottom has a non-slip rubber grip so that the molds don’t slip away while you’re using those.
Don't roll out too much dough at a time. For my pasta dough recipe I only use ⅙th at a time. To stop any sheets not being used drying out put them into a deep baking or roasting tray with parchment paper at the bottom and a damp tea towel over the top. The automatic ones usually come in the form of an attachment that works with a machine like a pasta maker. This is an expensive option because you need to buy a pasta maker and then the ravioli attachment separately. However, it is a convenient option and is especially preferable if you cook ravioli regularly. Avoid "rough" fillings- ingredients that will break the dough while cooking (such as- raw vegetables or large chunks of cooked meats) can also cause your delicate ravioli shell to break. Make sure to roast, steam, or cook any vegetables before making them into a ravioli filling.
