Have you ever wondered how they make ravioli? Long before I ever saw frozen ravioli, my dad and my grandmother made them at home. They rolled out a sheet of pasta dough, spread the filling over, and then placed another sheet of pasta dough over that. Then they used a special ravioli rolling pin to form the individual squares. It looks like a rolling pin, but it´s marked in squares all the way around. You lay it at the top of your pasta, and press down firmly. Then roll over to the next set of squares and press down again. Keep doing this till you´ve reached the bottom of the pasta, and you´ll see rows of neat little raviolis. Let dry for several hours, then cut the squares apart with a serrated knife or a ravioli wheel. Just boil them as you would the frozen kind, and enjoy! Villaware makes a very nice ravioli rolling pin. I bought mine at cooksworld.com for sixteen dollars plus shipping.
