Is there anything more delicious than homemade ravioli?

Making your own ravioli at home is not hard to do, but requires the use of some tools. One of those tools is a ravioli mold.

Ravioli molds, also called ravioli trays or ravioli presses, are a very useful tool for making your favorite ravioli, especially if you need to make bigger batches. We have aluminum ravioli molds in different types and sizes, to make any type of ravioli you want, which can be filled with all kinds of fillings: meat, vegetables, cheese, fish, or any combinations you can think of. Use a bit of flower on the mold to ensure easy release.

This is how to use your ravioli mold:

Prepare the pasta dough with your favorite pasta recipe, knead it until smooth and roll it out into thin sheets. You can do this with either a rolling pin or a pasta maker.
Carefully lay one sheet of rolled out pasta dough onto the mold. Make sure it covers the entire mold, with some overhang around the edges.
Using a spoon, scoop, tongs or your fingers, add the desired amount of filling into each indentation on the ravioli mold. To prevent the ravioli from bursting during cooking, make sure to not overfill them.
Add a second pasta sheet on top of the one with the portions of filling, carefully aligning it with the first sheet. Gently press down to remove as many air pockets as you can.
With a rolling pin, flatten the top and seal the edges of the ravioli. Make sure to press the dough enough for the individual ravioli to be completely separated.
Carefully remove the excess dough around the ravioli mold (your can still use the extra dough for the next batch) and gently pop out the ravioli.
After you've made your desired amount of ravioli, cook them in a large pot with salted water, until they float to the surface, which takes just a few minutes. Be sure not to overcook your ravioli, you don't want them to be soft and mushy. Drain them with a skimmer or in a colander and serve them with a sauce or topping of your choice.

Using a ravioli mold can be a little easier and faster than using a ravioli stamp, especially if you need to make a larger batch of ravioli. It ensures that all the ravioli have a consistent shape and size, giving your homemade pasta dish a professional appearance. A ravioli stamp on the other hand, will allow more flexibility in sizes and shapes.
