Description
While most of us like cheese raviolis, I find that is missing something, the meat. Our sausage and cheese raviolis will satisfy all meat lovers in your family.
Ingredients
The Dough
- 2 C – flour
- 1 tsp – salt
- 1 tsp – olive oil
- 2 – eggs
- 3 TB – water
The Filling
- 3/4 lb. – Sweet Italian sausage
- 1 tsp – Minced garlic
- 1 TB – Olive oil
- 8 oz. – Ricotta cheese
- 4 oz. – Cream cheese
- 1/2 C- Shredded mozzarella

Instructions
Making the dough
- Work the flour and salt together to a mound creating a well in the center.
- In a bowl mix the eggs, olive oil, and water together and beat thoroughly with a fork.
- Pour the egg mixture into the well of the dough and mix together.
- Continue to kneed the dough until it is smooth and solid.
- If dough is not coming together add small amounts of water, you can wet your hands and work water into the dough.
- If dough is too sticky simply add small amounts of flour.
- Once kneading is complete wrap dough in plastic and refrigerate for an hour.
The Filling – Cheese
- This part is pretty simple, just combine the cheeses(mozzarella, provolone, parmesan, cream cheese), parsley and egg into a small bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Set filling aside – refrigerate.
The Filling-Sausage
- Add the olive oil to a frying pan and heat.
- Add the garlic and cook until browned.
- Add the sausage and cook until sausage is cooked through.
- Drain the sausage thoroughly and let cool, remove any excess grease.
- Add the sausage to the cheese mixture and mix together.
The Combination
- Roll dough out and cut into 4 equal sections
- I like to use a pasta roller to roll the dough out or you can roll out by hand. Thickness can vary, I like mine no thicker than the width of a penny.
- If you are using a standard pasta maker you can roll dough by hand until it fits into the highest setting, we’ll say 6.
- Run it through 6 twice then run it through 3 and then 2. Dough should be pliable.
- Lay the sheet out and cover with plenty of the egg wash mixture(beat mixture together).
- Place a teaspoon or so of the filling onto the dough spacing it about an 1 1/2″ apart.
- Repeat step 4 for top layer and cover the bottom portion.
- Press the top layer down to remove any air pockets that may exist.
- Cut the raviolis into squares and seal sides with a sealing tool or a fork can be used.
- Boil a large pot of water and combine a pinch of salt.
- Place raviolis into the boiling water and cook until they float, around 8 minutes.
- Drain and serve!
