Prepare the Dough

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Knead the Dough

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out one portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and browned on the outside.

Prepare the Pasta Dough

After the resting period, divide the dough into quarters. Roll out each quarter into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Ensure the sheets are thin but not tearing.

Roll the Dough

On one sheet of pasta, place small spoonfuls of the filling about 1 inch apart. Lay another sheet of pasta over the top and press down around the filling to seal. Cut out individual ravioli using a knife or ravioli cutter.
