- Roll out the dough into thin sheets, place small portions of the filling every 3-4 cm, ensuring they are well separated.
- Cover with another sheet, press around each portion to seal carefully and cut the ravioli with a cutter.
- Cook in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes until they float and are tender but firm. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.
