Awesome video! Can you re-roll the scraps of dough or do you throw them out? Thanks!!

[tarotbear]

@23hopsing THROW ... them ...OUT??? NEVER! LOL! Unlike cookie dough, pasta dough can be rerolled together and reused; sprinkle a little water if the dough gets dry. You can also just take the leftover strips, cut them up and let the pieces dry - then add the pasta chips to soups, or just boil the strips up and eat them with sauce. They are still pasta, after all!

Throw out food? You must NOT be Italian! LOL!!! MANGIA!!!!!

Brilliantly done. Thank you for explaining and demonstrating so clearly. You make it look so easy, I'm going to try it!

[tarotbear]

@pjwinps1 It IS easy! And it's fun, too! MANGIA !!!! (and Thank You!)

I tried making ravioli last night with the same equipment. It was a disaster. I think I learned quite a bit from watching your video... Thanks!

[tarotbear]

@corydave33 As always, a good visual or video outdoes a written explanation ANY TIME! Thank you! MANGIA !!!!!

@nothing4455 Thank YOU for watching my videos! MANGIA !!!

@tfin613 The medium ravioli are 2 1/2" square; it is a Villa or Villaware # 5500. A plate (12" x 5 1/4") makes 10 medium ravioli. I like this size the best. The smaller plate is 2" squares; it is NorPro # 1043. That plate (12" x 4 1/4") makes 12 smaller ravioli. A platesworth is enough to feed the average person. They do swell when cooked! You can also buy round or square presses that make one at a time in some kitchen shops. MANGIA !!!! (And Thank You!)

[tfin613]

Are the ravioli in the video 2 inch squares or 2.5 inch squares? I really like the "medium" size ravioli that you made, so I wanted to buy a similar size ravioli plate. Also, do you know the brand of the ravioli plate you used? Or is there one that you would recommend?

@TheElectVideos You're more than welcome! MANGIA !!!!!!!!

[TheElectVideos]

Nice job. Thanks. I learned a lot.

@AmalgmousProxy Thank you for your kind response! Remember, for everything there is a hard way, and easy way, and a BETTER way! MANGIA!!!!!

[AmalgmousProxy]

So that's the proper way to use that style ravioli maker. I've been looking around and I've seen everything from people laying the pasta on the plastic part to them using just the metal part like a cookie cutter on a cutting board. I think I'm going to stick with your instructions, mostly because they make sense but also as the French say "ne faites jamais confiance à un cuisinier maigre!" BTW, I too have a marble rolling pin that I keep in the fridge the night before rolling out sticky dough.

@mstrkrft555 There are also star-shaped raviloi makers, too! LOL! MANGIA!!!!

@loco4123 Thank you! MANGIA!!!!

[loco4123]

Thank you so much for this, now ill be making my own ravioli for my whole family. No more store bought. Long live homemade

@ily783 A note - I have seen where a ravioli plate was used that did not have open spaces. The noodle was almost completely dry(!!!) They filled in the depressions and put the second noodle on top - but since the noodle was so dry they merely rolled it with a pin a couple of times to 'stick' it together, then flopped the entire noodle out and cut it with a pastry cutter. I prefer where the weight of the rolling pin (mine is marble, BTW) against the zig-zags seals and cuts the ravioli. MANGIA!!!!

@msmaggie007t Bravo! Thank you very much! Please feel free to share the links to my pasta videos with your friends! MANGIA!

[msmaggie007t]

I really enjoyed your video!  I've been making ravioli for years but was looking for a truly good instructional video to share with my facebook friends. Perfectly done. Bravo!

[tarotbear]

@ily783 Thank you so much for your kind words! Be sure to try again! MANGIA!

[ily783]

Thank you so much as I got a ravioli plate for a present - the type with a base rather than hollow with a top plastic stretcher - and tried to use once and it was a complete failure but armed with your advice I will try again. Lovely to see you in your own kitchen. How marvellous is the internet. Thank you.

[tarotbear]

Thank you! I tried to make my explanations as easy and as clear as I could. MANGIA!
