    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!)
