    List of Ingredients




    **for the dough**
    3 cups flour
    3 eggs
    1 teaspoon salt -- (to taste) (up to 2)
    1/4 cup water
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    **filling**
    perdenales river chili

    Recipe



    1.Beat eggs. Add flour and salt, mix together. Use hands to press
    into a firm ball of dough. If too moist, add more flour.

    2.Place ball of dough on a lightly flourd surface and knead for 5-10
    minutes until smooth. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10-15
    minutes.

    3.Roll dough with the rolling pin on a lightly floured surface until
    paper thin. Dough should be used immediately to avoid drying out.

    How to assemble ravioli:

    1.If you don't have the press, place the filling in small mounds
    (according to the size you want) about an inch apart from each other
    on HALF of the dough.

    2.Take a basting brush and lightly brush water between each filling
    mound but not on it. The water is your "glue" to stick the pasta
    together.

    3.Fold other half of dough (with no filling) over top the half with
    filling on it, pressing AROUND each filling mound to seal in the
    filling. Cut into squares between the sealed filling mounds.

    4.Place on waxed paper or greased cookie sheet and freeze (make sure
    they don't stick to the cookie sheet and rip!) When frozen, place in
    ziploc bag.

    5.To serve, bring water to a boil. Put in frozen ravioli and cook 3-5
    minutes or until al dente. Top with hot tomato sauce, alfredo sauce,
    whatever you like! Enjoy! I have also just cooked them in sauce
    instead of water and they cook up fine. (If you have the press, cut
    out the circles of dough with the bottom of the press, place one
    circle in press, add a little filling and brush water on one half of
    the dough edges. Press closed, making sure the filling is sealed in.
    Freeze on cookie sheet)

    I have a half moon shaped press I use to make these called the "Pocket
    Gourmet". Here is the recipe from the booklet, with my modifications
    to make if you don't have this press (has three sizes, really neat to
    do turnovers, pastries, all kinds of stuff!)
