Assembling the Ravioli

  1. Determine how much space your ravioli stamp needs and place a small bit of the filling evenly apart in a row - probably about a teaspoon of filling - don't overfill because you need to fold over and close it

  2. Gently fold over the dough so the filling is covered

  3. Use your hands to make indents around the filling so you know where to press the stamp
