WHY YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE THIS GLUTEN-FREE RAVIOLI

No special equipment needed - If you have a ravioli stamp maker, that's great, but you can also use a fork. I do, however, suggest you invest in one if you intend to do this regularly.

Change it up - You can change the fillings and sauce, so you have a different meal each month or week if you have time. Some filling options are spinach with ricotta, butternut squash, or cheese and mushroom.

Tastes so good - Fresh homemade pasta always tastes great!

HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE RAVIOLI

MAKE THE PASTA:

1. Mix all the eggs and egg yolks, and water in a medium mixing bowl. Mix well and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix gluten-free flour, olive oil, and salt. Make a hole in the flour mixture and add the egg mixture to it.
3. Stir them and if all is mixing well, move the dough on the floured flat surface and knead it using your hand for 10 -15 minutes. If the gluten-free ravioli dough feels stiff, add more water until pliable. Form into a ball and cover with plastic wraps. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

MAKE THE FILLING:

1. Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and set aside until the dough is ready.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE:

1. After 30 minutes, divide the dough into 4 parts. Start with one part of the dough. Wrap the three remaining dough parts gently in plastic to prevent them from drying.
2. Put 1 part of the dough on the generous floured flat surface, sprinkle with more flour and roll it just up and down, then rotate it. Fold both sides of the dough to the middle, flip, then roll it again up and down until very thin. The thinner, the better (around 1-2mm). Do the same for the remaining dough.
3. Take 1 teaspoon of the filling. Give space for each filling around 1 inch. Brush the edges with water and cover the cheese filling with other dough. Be careful, do not tear the dough.
4. Press the part around the filling (all the edges) using your palm then press by ravioli stamp. Or you can cut it with a very sharp knife and close the edges using a fork.
5. In a pan with boiled water, add ¼ tsp salt then place the ravioli. Boil for about 8 minutes or until the ravioli has begun to swell in size and the dough is fork tender and the filling is cooked. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon or strainer.
6. Serve with garlic oil, salt, ground pepper, and chopped parsley.
