The job of rolling the pasta dough is much easier with a
Pasta Machine. "Atlas" makes one that is very easy to use. Making homemade pasta
is worth the time and doesn't taste at all like what you buy in the store.

Italian Beef Ravioli
Ravioli Dough:
3 C. flour
3 eggs
1 T. oil
2 t. salt
water
Place flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Add eggs, oil and salt. Add
water a little at a time to make a soft dough. Place onto a floured board and
knead until dough is smooth and elastic. About 8 minutes. Cover dough and let
rest 20 minutes.
Filling:
3/4 lb. ground beef
3/4 lb. ricotta cheese
3 eggs
1 C. parmesan cheese
1 T. salt
pepper
Mix filling together in a bowl.
To assemble:
Divide dough into 5 pieces and roll into a very thin rectangle. Cut the dough
into 3 x 10 inch strips. Place a teaspoon of the filling about every 2 inches on
the dough. Cover with another strip and cut out with a ravioli cutter (or cut
with a knife and press with a fork). Place ravioli on a floured board and cover
until ready to cook.
Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook until tender. Drain and
rinse.
Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce and top with parmesan cheese.
