Tips:
- For the perfect ravioli dough, use a combination of all-purpose flour and semolina flour. The semolina flour will give the dough a slightly grainy texture and a bit more bite.
- When rolling out the dough, make sure it is thin enough to be translucent, but not so thin that it tears. A good rule of thumb is to roll it out to about 1/16-inch thick.
- When filling the ravioli, be careful not to overfill them. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and they may burst during cooking.
- To seal the ravioli, brush the edges of the dough with water and then press them together firmly. Make sure there are no gaps, otherwise the filling will leak out during cooking.
- When cooking the ravioli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the ravioli and cook them for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top.
- Serve the ravioli with your favorite sauce. A simple tomato sauce or a creamy pesto sauce are both delicious options.
