"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
Mix dough lightly, adding water only until proper consistency.

Roll out lightly, using flour to prevent sticking.

Mark with a fluted roller into squares. Place dollop of filling on each square. Cover with another piece of dough and mark again. Separate into ravioli pouches. Let stand covered with a towel. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and drop in ravioli. Let cook quickly, only a few minutes, until done. Drain carefully, to prevent breakage. Serve with tomato sauce or just with olive oil and butter and cheese.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When our kids were growing up, this became our traditional Christmas Eve supper. Tony would do most of the prep: he loved to use the ravioli press his Mom (Josephine) had handed down to us. The kids liked to help with this process, pressing the dough into the ravioli press, putting in the filling, and placing the second layer of dough on top, then pressing down to cut the individual pouches.
