Homemade Tortellini and Ravioli - With Video

Tortellini and Ravioli

I LOVE homemade pasta! Especially tortellini and ravioli!

The Filling 

There are so many options when it comes to ravioli and tortellini filling! 

For my video I made a spinach and three cheese filling (mozzarella, parmesan , and powdered milk cheese (link below)).

Pasta filling really isn’t something you measure out, you just sorta put in what sounds and tastes good. 

Sometimes I make a sausage and spinach filling, or  sausage and tomato, or sausage and cheese. 

If you’re going to do meat in your filling, make sure it is cooked all the way before filling your pasta with it.

The Dough 

10 ounces of plain/white flour 

1 teaspoon salt 

3 tablespoons water 

1 1/2 tablespoons oil

2 large eggs 

(If your eggs are small, use 3) 

Knead dough until smooth, chill for 30 minutes to an hour. 

Divide dough into four sections. Roll each section as thin as possible. Using a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter, cut out circles.

Tortellini

Place about a teaspoon of filling in the center of your circle. 

Fold in half. 

Put your finger in the center and fold the two ends around your finger. 

Ravioli

Place a teaspoon (or tablespoon depending on how big your circles are) of filling in the center of the circle. 

Using your finger, paint the edges of the circle with water. 

Place another circle on top of the filling. 

Press down on the sides and seal. 

Boil your tortellini or ravioli until it’s done. I can’t give you an exact time, because the time depends on how thick/thin your pasta is. 

Serve these with your favorite sauce! 

Enjoy!
