Ingredients (continued)
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions
- Place 6 cups flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Beat

- about 8-10 minutes, adding remaining flour if necessary to keep

- occasionally.

- refrigerate until ready to use.
- Divide pasta dough into fourths; roll one portion to 1/16-in.
- thickness. (Keep pasta covered until ready to use.) Working quickly,
- place rounded teaspoonfuls of filling 1 in. apart over half of pasta
- sheet. Brush around filling with water to moisten. Fold sheet over;
- press down to seal. Cut into squares with a pastry wheel. Repeat
- with remaining dough and filling.
- Bring a soup kettle of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli. Reduce
- heat to a gentle simmer; cook for 1-2 minutes or until ravioli float
- to the top and are tender. Drain. Spoon sauce over ravioli.
- Yield: 6 servings.
