The ingredients I used:
1/2 cup sage sausage (or this recipe would great with crab meat, but see rule #1)
1 cup pasta flour plus 2 tablespoons
1 whole egg and 1egg yolk
1 teaspoon Italian herbs (see rule #4)
2 oz white wine
1/2 cup Romano cheese
1 10-oz can cream corn
On a large, flat, non-porous counter top or cutting board, place flour and make a well in the center
Place beaten eggs in the middle
Making a circular motion, bring a little flour into the egg until the outside finally combines with the egg
Kneed for 25 times
Wrap dough in a zip lock bag and place in refrigerator for one hour
Remove from refrigerator and place on floured non-porous surface
Roll out to 1/8 inch and fold over itself
Roll out to 1/16 inch thick (if you have a pasta machine you can go thinner)
With 2” biscuit cutter, cut out an equal number of rounds (I had enough for 10 ravioli)
Take a small amount of sausage and place
in center of ravioli
Cover with second pasta round and close with fingers and crimp with a fork
Repeat until all ravioli are complete
