I had a quest. I wanted to make ravioli. So I set off to my local European grocer and bought myself a ravioli mold/maker. After that, I came home and experimented. First up was Pumpkin and Ricotta filling; then it was chicken and ricotta and then beef filling. My husband and two little boys were my guinea pigs. The result? They absolutely demolished each dish!
You can freeze the ravioli. Just make sure you place a sheet of baking paper between each sheet of ravioli.

Place one sheet of floured pasta sheet onto the ravioli mold. Place a teaspoon of filling into each compartment.
Place another sheet of pasta on top of the filling. Using the rolling pin, roll firmly.
