• 5 combine filling ingredients.
• 6 set out one sheet of pasta dough and place small amounts of filling at even intervals, leaving gaps between each, in straight lines across the dough.
• 7 place another layer of dough on top.
• 8 using a ruffled edge pastry cutter, cut the dough into long rectangles, and then into individual squares, sealing each filling blob inside a square pocket of dough.
• 9 bring a large pot of water to boil, adding a hearty handful of sea salt to the water once it has come to a boil. add the ravioli and cook about 4-5 minutes, or until they are floating and cooked to your liking.
