2 eggs
-
1/3 cup water
-
-
1 1/2 lbs ground pork
-
1 1/2 lbs ground veal (chicken or turkey may be substituted)
-

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

1 cup grated romano cheese or 1 cup parmesan cheese, your choice

Instructions
- Make the dough first, this can be done a day in advance. Before you use the dough, it needs to be at room temperature.
- First, brown the beef in a skillet and drain all the fat. Set aside to let cool.
- In a food processor add the garlic and onion chop very fine.
- Now add the cooked hamburger and process very fine. Add the cheese, parsley flakes, basil, oregano, salt and pepper; mix very well in the food process bowl. Refrigerate until ready for use.
- To make the dough for the ravioli, divide it into 8 pieces making sure the dough is stiff.
- Roll 1 piece at a time on a floured surface as thin as possible. If using a pasta machine or Kitchen-Aid pasta roller, roll it into 1/16 of an inch or so. (I have a Kitchen Aid pasta roller and this only takes 2-3 minutes for the bottom and the top pieces of the dough).
- Using a ravioli tray, add a little flour across the tray to keep them to sticking to the tray. Put the first piece of dough across and fill each ravioli with the mixture.
- Now put the second piece of the dough on top of the tray. Use a rolling pin to seal the sides of the ravioli. Flip the tray upside down and the ravioli will fall out.Seal with an egg mixture! (Now that is 1 egg and 1/4 cup milk wisked).
- To cook, bring to a boil 4-6 cups of water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
- Boil for about 10 to 12 minutes. Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce or try mine
- Recipe #106003.
- Option #2:
- Sauté meat in butter. Season lightly with salt.
- Use meat grinder to process the meats. Add all the ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix until well-combined.
- Cover the filling and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
- Once the filling has rested, you can begin making your ravioli.
