You'll be amazed how easy it is. Pasta dough is pretty tough and forgiving.
Just roll it out as square as you can or you end up with more work making it
all second time. Best to make 2 big rectangles just one time. Oh, roll the
top piece out a bit bigger than the bottom piece. You will want a ravioli
wheel cutter. Drop the dollops of mixture onto the pasta but brush the
whole thing with egg mixture first then lay the top piece on top. Then
starting in the middle from left to right press the center edge together
using the edges of your hands. Then do the vertical edges, then push all
the air out and see the horizontal edges. Then cut them apart with the
cutting wheel. Let the raviolis dry for 30 minutes or so before cooking.
That gives the seams a chance to really set up.
It looks hard but it is very easy.

I don't have a ravioli cutter either (that wavy thing), but I used a
glass (to make round ravioli - I love the shape) and everything turned
out fine. I need to buy a set of round cookie cutters. Maybe the
next time I go to sur la table (I think I saw the set of 3 there -
that's the one I want).

That could be a novelty. Ravioli in animal cookie shapes.

Heh, or it could be on the children's menu. I'll just stick with
boring old round.

Oh, good luck. Seriously. I have tried the rolling pin method and
the whole mess ended up in the garbage. I'd love to know your tricks
and tips after you've tried and maybe mastered this.
Nothing like homemade ravioli. I had some about years ago and never
forgot it.
