Making homemade Italian ravioli with meat and cheese filling may seem like a troublesome task because of the multiple steps, but the steps aren't difficult and the process can be lots of fun. When we make the little meat and cheese filled pillows, we plan on making a double and even a triple batch. This is Italian cuisine at its finest.

Make extra for freezing

They freeze beautifully and it's wonderful having these delicious bites of pasta on hand when we're too busy to make something special for dinner, or even if the unexpected company is coming.

 All it takes is grabbing some out of the freezer, tossing them in boiling salted water for a bit,

and then covering them with a delicious sauce.

All you need for an all around delicious meal is  a tossed salad with Italian dressing and some homemade crusty Ciabatta bread. This is all it takes to complete the perfect Italian ravioli meal.

How to make Italian Ravioli

Italian ravioli is a two recipe process

  1. the filling
  2. and the pasta

With steps combining the two to make the finished pasta pillows.

Our first step is to gather the ingredients and prepare to make the filling.

The Ravioli Meat & Cheese Filling is Cooked and then Put in Food Processor to Make a Fine Texture.

We cook the meat, and once it's cooled, we put the filling in the food processor. Pulse the processor several times until the texture of the filling is fine.

The filling goes back into the bowl and then off to the fridge to firm up. The filling is so much easier to work with when it's cold.

The second step is to make the pasta for the Italian ravioli in our food processor.

We use our processor a lot! It makes doing a lot of little jobs much faster.

The dough comes together in a matter of minutes. Once we zipped, zipped the dough in the processor we let it rest covered on the counter.

By the time the pasta finishes resting on the counter, the filling cooled. The pasta now goes ready through the roller.

Both the pasta roller attachment and the ravioli maker are gifts from our kids --  do you think they were hinting? 🙂

The dough passes through the roller of the stand mixer pasta attachment quite a few times before it is ready to press in the ravioli maker at allourway.com

 In the third step we pass the dough through the widest setting 4 times,  folding the dough each time into thirds.

The dough becomes very pliable and durable as we continue to pass the dough through the thinner settings.

We continue until we reach the number 6 setting.

Putting Ravioli Together

We use about one teaspoon of filling for each little pocket. The ravioli form is so easy to use, it makes ravioli production extremely easy.

You do have to be careful not to overfill,  you want the edges to seal. If there is too much filling, the ravioli may pop open when you put them in simmering water.

We lightly mist the bottom pasta layer with water before we add the top layer of pasta. This insures that the pasta will seal.

Run the Rolling Pin Over the Dough Starting From the Center Out to Seal the Edges

When we're ready to seal the dough we start to press the rolling pin from the center to one end and then start from the center and go to the other end. The dough stretches, this way the dough stretches evenly.

We go over the top several times to make sure that the edges are sealed.

The extra pieces of dough that we cut off the edges we reuse by running them through the pasta roller. The dough is very forgiving and easy to work with.

The fourth step is to transfer the plump meat and cheese filled pasta to a parchment lined baking sheet.

As soon as we fill one baking sheet,  we put it in the freezer and start on another sheet. Once the ravioli freeze, we seal them in freezer bags and put the bags in freezer containers.

Preparing Italian Ravioli

Finally, we're at the best part -- cooking them.

We fill a pan with water,  let the water come to a boil,  salt the water, then gently slide the Italian ravioli into the water. Keep the water at a gentle simmer,  the ravioli will be less apt to break open.

We let the ravioli cook for about 3 - 4 minutes. If the ravioli are frozen, cook a minute more. We use our spider to fish them out of the water and then we add whatever sauce sounds good.

These little pockets of flavor are so tasty and versatile. You can dress them up with any sauce, even an Alfredo if you like.

We've even deep fried ravioli and had them as an appetizer. Believe me, they are so good I bet you can't stop at one!

Ingredients

MEAT CHEESE RAVIOLI FILLING

  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 Tbs parsley chopped
  • 12 oz beef chuck ground
  • 12 oz pork sausage country style
  • 16 oz ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 Tbs olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup spinach leaves baby spinach chopped.

PASTA DOUGH

  • 14 oz. all-purpose flour 3 ⅛ cups
  • 4 eggs large
  • 1 Tbs olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions

FOR THE MEAT RAVIOLI FILLING

  • Fry the meat in olive oil until well browned. Drain the meat on paper towels
  • When the meat cools a little put it into a large bowl and mix in the chopped spinach. chopped parsley, beaten eggs and the rest of the ingredients, add salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Put the filling into the food processor bowl and pulse several times until the mixture is fine. 
  • Return the filling to the mixing bowl and refrigerate. (The filling is easier to work with when refrigerated.) The filling will give you enough for a double batch -- making about 90 - 100+ ravioli. The filling can be frozen. 

PASTA DOUGH

    THE FOOD PROCESSOR METHOD

    • Using the metal blade pulse the flour and salt together.
    • Lightly stir the eggs and olive oil in a measuring cup.
    • With the processor running, add the egg/oil mixture all at once through the feed tube until a ball is formed then pulse several times. The dough should be slightly sticky to the touch and should spring back when you press it. 
    • Form the dough into a smooth ball and place on a dough board or tabletop and cover with a bowl for 30 minutes.
    • After 30 minutes you can make the dough into your preferred shape. This is a single batch --you'll need to double the dough to use up all of the filling.

    MANUAL METHOD

    • Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl.
    • Gradually add eggs and oil to flour, mixing with a spoon. As the mixture becomes lumpy, begin to press together and knead with your hands. If mixture seems too dry and grainy, add one tablespoon of water at a time until the mixture holds together into a ball.
    • Remove dough from the mixing bowl and begin to knead dough for 2 minutes on a lightly floured dough board or table top.
    • Cover the dough with a bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. Allowing the dough to rest will improve the texture of the dough.

    TO COOK RAVIOLI:

    • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt the water. You want your water as salty as the sea.
    • Add the ravioli in batches. About 10- 12 at a time. Don't overcrowd. Bring the water back to a gentle simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes. If the ravioli is frozen, cook for an additional minute.
    • Remove with a slotted spoon or spider to a serving dish. Continue cooking the rest of the ravioli. Serve with your favorite sauce or just with extra-virgin olive oil, butter, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle with fresh herbs. 

    Notes

    To use up all of the meat and cheese ravioli filling you'll need a double batch of pasta dough. If you don't want to do it all at once, you may freeze the filling to use at a later down.

        Hello! I haven’t yet made this yet but plan to for Mother’s Day. The recipe says it serves 15 people. My family is made up of 5 people and we eat a LOT. I was curious, how many pieces of pasta will a serving will make?

          Hello Norah! That filling will make about 100 ravioli. Now, typically you figure 5-6 ravioli per person. But hey! We've got some big eaters in the family who'll go back for seconds. It doesn't hurt to have extra for them. Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day!! xoxo

          Made these for our last christmas meal. The filling was easy to prepare and was smooth to spread. I absolutely love it. The only changes we made were that we added onion and garlic. On Christmas day everyone enjoyed them however my son said they
          lacked flavor. Next time I would add more salt. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

        We made this for this past Christmas instead of our usual recipe. It was delicious. Everyone loved it. The only change I would make is of my own doing. I would use a lightr gravy than I made which has ground beef and pork in it. I really appreciate your Italian phrases as it helps me to remember my Italian from years ago.

                  Hi Aimee! A cup of liquid is measured as ounces what your referring to. If you'd take a cup of marshmallows and weigh them, they would weigh differently than a cup of chocolate chips. We measure with a kitchen scale. So if you'd measure the 14 ounces by scale, you'd end up with approximately 3 1/8 cups of all-purpose flour. Measuring by scale is more accurate. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer them for you.

        I made these with some adjustments for dietary needs. My daughter can’t have pork or ricotta cheese so I used only extra lean ground beef and left out the ricotta. I added about 1/2 tsp of onion powder. They are wonderful! I will definitely make them again.

          Hi!! A good substitution would be chicken or turkey sausage. You could even use venison. Just follow the rest of the directions. After the meat is cooked, we like pulsing it one or twice in the food processor to make sure there aren't any big chunks. Let us know how it goes! xoxo

        My husband & I made ravioli from scratch for the first time yesterday using this filling recipe & our Kitchenaid. We served these with a brown butter tomato sauce drizzled on top & garnished with shaved parmesan & chopped parsley. We all loved it! There was 5 of us & we used around half of the filling recipe. We mostly followed the filling recipe as is other than adding freshly minced garlic & some red pepper flakes. Thank you for a such great tasting recipe!!! We really enjoyed it & looking forward to using the other half of the filling & freezing for later.

        We made this the other day. The filling is fantastic and I would definitely use it again. We had a few issues with the dough. We didn’t knead the dough enough (the recipe doesn’t talk about kneading) and I believe you need to get it thinner, up to number 8 on the machine not 6. It was too thick so when cooking for 4 minutes it wasn’t very tender. We froze the left overs so will cook those longer and see it it makes a difference. This is only our second time doing ravioli (first time the dough recipe seemed better) so I didn’t realize those two steps would make such a difference.

          Hello Sharon! I'm glad you like the filling - it is one of our favorites. As far as the pasta dough goes, we use the processor to knead our dough - we've never had any problems. If you're doing it manually, I do believe I mentioned kneading it for two minutes, that may have not been enough. You have to see that the dough is smooth. There are so many variables when it comes to pasta machines. Our 6 is just right for us but you certainly can go thinner. Using our ravioli maker if we go too thin the filling might tear the pasta. It's all up to you. We've had to make adjustments because our eggs were too large for the pasta recipe. 🤣 Let me know how it goes when you do it again. xoxo

          Hello, Jess! Just make sure your meat is chopped fine. Brown the hamburger and once it's cooled chop it fine with a knife. You know, sometimes when you brown hamburger it clumps in bigger pieces. When you get the clumps out it's easier to combine with the other ingredients and makes a really nice filling. Let us know how it goes.

        I have some 00 flour. Should I use that and would the measurement be the same? Thank you! Looking forward to making these.

          Hi, Cindy! Yes, you can use the 00 flour, in fact it's preferred. The dough will seem a little dry at first but once you work it and let it rest it will be perfect. Let me know how it goes. xoxo

        First, let me say, meat ravioli would be my last choice of raviolis out there...however, we are in the middle of a pandemic and stuck at home. I had 'meatloaf' blend instead of ground beef as that's all my local store had available to deliver last week. Sure, I could make a meatloaf, meatballs...but, I had time...lots and lots and lots (and lots more) of time, so I thought, 'why not?' WELL! I am a convert...this recipe is absolutely fabulous!! I did make a couple alterations (I didn't have country style pork sausage)...I did have a bratwurst so used that. I also didn't have Ricotta...I used cottage cheese instead. I added a tad of basil/italian spices, a hefty shake of red pepper flakes and ground away. Oh my...drool-worthy. Oh, and that thing about having lots of time? Yeah, well, this recipe actually doesn't need that much time! Even considering the home made pasta...so go for it, you won't be sorry!

        I'm confused about the pasta dough... The recipe calls for 14 oz of flour (3 1/8 cups) On my measuring cup, 2 cups equals 16 oz, 3 1/8 cups would be a little over 24 oz, just wondering which one it is...

          14 oz in this case is a weight measurement, not a volume measurement... 3 1/8 cup by volume or 14 oz by weight... It can be confusing because oz can refer to volume or weight

            That is true, it can be confusing but since we're talking about "flour" that is a dry measurement it would be by weight.

          Hi, Lucie! Are you using a scale to measure the amounts? The right amount is 14 oz. of flour or 3 1/8 cups. We like using a scale because it is more accurate. For instance, 14 oz. of white sugar would measure 2 cups. If you do a lot of baking a scale is really helpful.

          Hi, Autumn! Fried ravioli are soooo good. I plan on posting the recipe and pictures in the near future. But I'll write out the basics here. You'll need fresh ravioli or frozen that are thawed. We like to use peanut oil but you may use vegetable. You'll need the oil at least two inches. You will also need panko crumbs (what we like to use because they are super crunchy) or Italian bread crumbs. When I post I'll be able to tell you how to make Italian flavored bread crumbs from panko. Now, first dip the ravioli in buttermilk then in the panko crumbs. The oil should reach 325 F. Turn the ravioli occasionally as they fry, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the ravioli to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve with a bowl of your favorite marinara sauce. Let me know how it goes. xoxo

        The recipe says that it serves about 15. I also read in other comments that the recipe makes 90 to 100 ravioli. So does that mean that a serving size to reflect the nutrition information shown is about 6 ravioli per guest?

          Hi, Josh! Yes, you are correct. I figured around 6 ravioli per person although I would probably only eat 4 and there are several male members in the family that could eat 10+. I just tried to get an average number.

          Hi, Jerry! That is how long our frozen fresh pasta ravioli take. The larger ravioli may take a minute or two more. Then we add the ravioli to a sauce and it cooks a bit more. I'm afraid that if you cooked fresh pasta ravioli for 20 minutes you'd have ravioli that weren't edible.

          Hi, Dolly! Make sure that you have floured the dough and the form. I know sometimes too much flour can make it difficult to seal the top dough to the bottom. What you can do is lightly spritz some water on the bottom dough before you put on the top. Then use the rolling pin. And sometimes I do have to coax those little pillows out of the form. They eventually come out. Let me kow how it goes.

          Hi, Rae! If you put them in an air-tight bag and then in a freezer container they will last for one to two months. Ideally a vacuum sealer works great - our son has one and the ravioli would last even longer. What is most important is that you get as much air out of the bag and container as possible. If you want to make a spinach pasta- thaw out a 10- ounce package of frozen spinach. Squeeze as much water out of it as you can, that's super important. In a food processor combine the spinach, 5 eggs, and puree until the mixture is dark green and smooth. In a bowl whisk 4 cups of all--purpose flour with 1 teaspoon salt. Pour the flour on a bread board, countertop, or silicone pastry mat. Make a well in the middle of the flour. Pour the spinach-egg mixture in the middle and using a fork start working in the flour. When you can, start kneading it adding more flour. When the dough is smooth and slightly tacky but not sticky. Set aside, covered with plastic wrap. About 20 minutes, to let the gluten relax. Then make your pasta in whatever form you want.

        I love this recipe! I have used this filing with another pasta recipe, but this time I used this pasta recipe. I will never use another pasta recipe! It's so simple to make! I use an Atlas pasta roller, and roll dough to a 6 or 7. I made 3 batches and have vacuum sealed them and frozen them in preparation for surgery. The only thing that will need to be done is cooking them! I do suggest buying a set of really cheap set of toddler flatware. The spoons are wide and flat. It's perfect if you use 2. Scoop a level spoon full and use a second spoon to form a disc of filing, then place in your form. It is the perfect size of filing for the pocket, and faster than any other method I have used! Thanks for the amazing recipe!

        I love homemade Italian. Have never made a meat filled ravioli but can tell just by looking at your ingredients that this is 5 star all the way. Can’t wait to try it.

        Quick question. You mentioned going to a thickness of 5 on the pasta. I have a different pasta roller. Atlas machine with 10 settings (0-9). Would I still roll it to 5 or should I go a little thinner? Thank you!

          I'm not familiar with your hand roller. I'd try it at the 5 and see if that's thin enough. If not go up a notch until you get the right thickness. No matter what thickness, homemade pasta is GOOD!! ????

        Hello Marissa, My father loved gadgets and had bought a ravioli mold back when I was in high school, sadly he never got to use it. I recently found it, still in the factory packaging. Have purchased a Masrcato Atlas 150 pasta roller, so should be good to go. was looking for a ravioli recipe, when I found this. Something very similar to your recipe will be the first ravolie made in my father's mold. Thank you!

        This is the best pasta tutorial to make ravioli ever! I have to tell you that I have made ravioli, using wonton wrappers, #nojudging. I have been wanting to make homemade raviolis because the store made never compare to the homemade raviolis. I now feel pretty confident, as long as I have this out in front of me. This will be a project I am looking forward to this week!

        OMG I have a Kitchen Aid stand mixer and never thought about using it for ravioli! Do you have any tips for preventing them from exploding while boiling? I've had that problem with both fresh and store bought. Thx

          March 18, 2018 at 12:44 pm

          Hi, Cindy! The Kitchen Aid is great for getting that dough nice and thin. Now, if your ravioli are bursting, make sure your water isn't BOILING just simmering. Slip them gently into the water. If you are doing them from scratch brush a bit of water around the edges so the two sheets of pasta seal when you press down on them. Sometimes if you have too much flour on them it will prevent a good seal. A bit of water brushed on them should take care of it. Hope you give it a go.

            I use a spray water bottle. One quick spritz before adding the top layer of pasta, and they seal perfectly every time!

        Right before I went gluten free I got a ravioli plaque - I'd been looking for one for years! So it's been sitting, waiting for me to get my skills up to trying gluten free pasta...

        So now this is a bit of a push from the universe! LOL That filling looks wonderful, and I like your demonstation of how to use the thing (though I know there will be some differences with the dough - that's a given.)

          Hello, William! I'm so sorry we didn't include the amounts. Usually, we get anywhere from 90 to 100. One full cookie tray will hold 40 and we normally get 2+ trays. We normally make a double batch of pasta dough. I believe the pasta recipe on that post is for a double batch. Buon appetito!

        Marisa, how many ravis does the filling recipe fill? We use a 10 ravioli mold which is about equal to the 12 small ravi mold shown in the pics.
        We have both the KA attachment and a manual Marcato 180mm machine. We use the Marcato for ravioli because it makes a nice wide strip that overhangs the mold.

          Hi Joe! Since our machine went kerplunk we weren't able to do an accurate count. Our ravioli form does 12 and we had 5 dozen. We had at least half the filling left so I know we could easily had made anywhere from 5 to 6 more dozen. With your larger form I'd say easily 8 to 10 dozen depending how much you fill them. We will be getting the larger form 🙂 I have some filling I want to try with a larger ravioli. If you do your 10 ravioli, let me know how many you got. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend.

        I've never tried making ravioli, but they would taste so much better than the store-bought ones, I'm sure. The ravioli maker would pay for itself pretty soon, too. I'm sure my girls would enjoy making up a batch of these (maybe with a meatless filling). I gave away my pasta maker years ago when we moved, but maybe I'll put that on my birthday wishlist 🙂

It is great having ravioli any time we want. Let me know how you like making them once your "wish" comes true.

        This must be deja vu. I was thinking a few days ago about ravioli making. When my mom was alive, we made gnocchi and ravioli often. Since she passed away, I have made gnocchi numerous times, but never ravioli (she died in 1990!). I guess it's about time to get the ravioli maker out, and dust it off!!

          Some of the best times are spent working together -- my mom used to make her potato gnocchi and then she would take some of them and make the gnocchi into a U-shape and she fried them. We called them "storti" which meant crooked. We have several fillings for our ravioli and we'll be making more of them.
