The recipe was simple: 1 egg lightly beaten
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbs water
Combine the flour and salt, make a well in the flour and add the slightly beaten egg, the dough should become stiff, and you add 1-2 Tbs of water (one of the comments said to substitute oil for some of the water) and that's what I did. Then knead the dough for 3-4 minutes, cover with damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes. The recipe said you could roll it out or use a pasta machine, I have a pasta machine so we used that ( I put Mac on machine duty).
While the dough rested I made the filling and sauce. For the filling I cooked ground hamburger meat, garlic, onions, tomato sauce, fresh spinach, oregano, basil and marjoram, shredded cheese, red wine.
The pasta recipe said to mold the raviolis together and crimp with a fork, so that's what I did. And they stayed together, they didn't leak, they weren't tough and the meal was delicious!
I've actually finished a resolution.
Well done! It sounds delicious too. I've never tried making pasta and it will probably stay that way too I'm afraid:)
