Toasted Ravioli



I have been craving ravioli lately, and since there are not any gluten free ravioli available, we made our own! Ryan and I used to make baked ravioli pretty often when we first got married, so we decided to use our home made ravioli along with our old favorite recipe.  I will give you both recipes and although we had so much fun making our own pasta, it would be easy to just buy it from the store!
For the ravioli:
Here is the Gluten Free flour we use all the time:
You can use this in place of flour in any recipe.   Place the flour in a food processor.  Add salt, oil and eggs.  Pulse the mixture until it looks like dough.  Clean a large surface and lightly flour it.  Place the dough on the floured surface and knead the dough for a few minutes.  If the dough starts to crumble, and becomes hard to handle, you can add another egg white.  After kneading, wrap it in plastic wrap and place in a bowl.  Let the dough hang out for 20-30 minutes.

Use this time to make the filling:



Directions:
Combine all ingredients
 
I then rolled out the dough, like you would for a pie.  I used a ravioli cutter, but any round cookie cutter would work too.  Cut two and place your filling in the middle.
 
If the sides don't stick together you can use a fork to press along the edges.


Boil the ravioli for 2 mintues...they will float to the surface. Drain the ravioli and place on a plate until next step.

Now for the last part...if you are buying your ravioli and not making it this is where you start!
Baked Ravioli:


Directions:
For the store bought ravioli...boil for a few minutes.  You do not want to fully cook the ravioli, but you don't want it to be too tough.  After you boil the pasta let it cool for a few minutes.  Combine eggs and milk in one bowl.  Combine bread crumbs, cheese and parsley in another bowl.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.  Dip the boiled ravioli in the egg bowl and then in the bread crumb bowl.  Place ravioli in pan for 3-4 minutes on each side.  I heat the oven to 175 and place toasted ravioli on a baking sheet and keep in oven while I am cooking the others to keep it warm.


Now heat up your marinara sauce and place it in individual bowls so that you can dip your toasted ravioli.


 
Yummmmmmmmmmm:)
