Ravioli.... Ravioli Really Homemade

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon basil
• 1/8-1/4 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/8 cup onion, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

For the Dough

• 3 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup water

Directions

1. 1

   Make the dough first, this can be done a day in advance. Before you use the dough, it needs to be at room temperature.

2. 2

   First, brown the beef in a skillet and drain all the fat. Set aside to let cool.

3. 3

   In a food processor add the garlic and onion chop very fine.

4. 4

   Now add the cooked hamburger and process very fine. Add the cheese, parsley flakes, basil, oregano, salt and pepper; mix very well in the food process bowl. Refrigerate until ready for use.

5. 5

   To make the dough for the ravioli, divide it into 8 pieces making sure the dough is stiff.

6. 6

   Roll 1 piece at a time on a floured surface as thin as possible. If using a pasta machine or Kitchen-Aid pasta roller, roll it into 1/16 of an inch or so. (I have a Kitchen Aid pasta roller and this only takes 2-3 minutes for the bottom and the top pieces of the dough).

7. 7

   Using a ravioli tray, add a little flour across the tray to keep them to sticking to the tray. Put the first piece of dough across and fill each ravioli with the mixture.

8. 8

   Now put the second piece of the dough on top of the tray. Use a rolling pin to seal the sides of the ravioli. Flip the tray upside down and the ravioli will fall out.Seal with an egg mixture! (Now that is 1 egg and 1/4 cup milk wisked).

9. 9

   To cook, bring to a boil 4-6 cups of water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

10. 10

    Boil for about 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce or try mine (Recipe #106003).
