Knead the Dough:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead for a few minutes until the dough is elastic and non-sticky.<\/li>\n
- Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Use a pasta machine or rolling pin, dusting with flour as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Thin Out the Dough:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- If using a pasta machine, start at setting 1, passing the dough through 2-3 times.<\/li>\n
- Gradually move to higher settings, repeating the process until the dough is very thin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Fill the Ravioli:<\/strong><\/p>\nPlace 1 tsp of filling on the dough at regular intervals.<\/p>\n
