Pasta makers usually have 8 settings. You will start at the widest setting (on my pasta maker that setting is 1)
-
Shape 1/4 portion of chilled dough into a flat disk (put the remaining dough back in the fridge)
-
Run pasta through the pasta machine two times on the widest setting (usually 1) then roll it through twice again on setting 2, then twice on setting 3 etc...working your way up to 7. Stop at the second to last setting (usually 7) and only roll it only once on that setting. The thinnest setting (8) is too thin for ravioli.
-
Place rolled pasta on floured surface. Place butternut mixture by small spoonfuls onto pasta just below the midline, leaving a space of two fingers between each scoop of filling. (see photos above)
-
Dip finger in water and make a ‘U’ on pasta under each spoonful of filling.
-
Fold pasta over and press firmly (using two fingers) in between spoonfuls of filling, then seal pasta under filling (sealing the sides first and then the bottom prevents bubbling).
-
Use a knife to cut into ravioli shapes, placing each ravioli onto cookie sheet lined with wax paper in a single layer, separating each layer with more wax paper.
-
When all pasta and filling are used, set aside.
