Tips for Exceptional Pasta
•Good pasta dough is firm and leathery to touch, but also pliable. It should never stick to your fingers or crumble and fall apart. Many factors, such as humidity, brand of flour used, and size of eggs, may affect dough consistency.
•To test for correct dough consistency, pinch a small amount of dough together after mixing with the flat beater. If the dough stays together without sticking to your fingers, it should work well. It may be necessary to add a small amount of flour or water to reach correct dough consistency.
•If using Ravioli Maker for the first time, practice feeding pasta without filling through the attachment to perfect your technique.
•Separated ravioli can be cooked right away or stored in the refrigerator overnight. For longer storage individually freeze ravioli on baking sheet. Then store in freezer in sealed container.
•Cook ravioli in 6 quarts salted, boiling water until al dente or slightly firm to the bite, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
