Meat Filled Ravioli


Ingredients 

1 pound each of ground Veal, 
Sirloin, and Pork 
1 Stick of butter melted 
1 ¼ cup of chopped parsley 
1 box of frozen chopped spinach 
thawed 
2-3 eggs 
1 cup of chopped saltine soda crackers 
½ cup of grated Romano cheese 
Salt and Pepper 
DOUGH: 
3 cups of flour 
2-3 eggs 
1 tsp. of salt 
½ cup of warm water 
1 tablespoon of oil 

Directions 

Melt the butter in a sauté or fry pan and cook the meat until no longer pink. 
Do not drain because you want the butter in this recipe. 
To assemble dough I use my Kitchen Aid, if you do not have one you can do with an 
electric beater or by hand. 
Place 3 cups of flour into bowl make a well in middle and add eggs that have been 
beaten.  Add the salt, water, oil and mix altogether until it forms a soft dough. 
I roll the dough through a pasta maker starting with the high number working down to 
about 4. If you do not have a pasta maker you can also roll this out by hand into long 
strips. 12x6 should be fine. 
I place 1 strip on top of my ravioli maker that I sprinkle with flour.  Fill each circle with 
meat mixture and spread a little water on the dough in between each strip before 
placing another piece of dough on top.  Flip the maker over and cut out each ravioli. If 
you do not have a maker, place meat evenly on 1 strip. Put water on top and in between 
and place another strip of dough on top of that.  Cut each ravioli out and place on a 
cookie sheet.  Put into freezer for about 20 minutes.  Place ravioli in boiling water, when 
they come to the top let them continue cooking for 2 more minutes. 
Place on platter and add either my homemade sauce or Romano’s Italian Pasta sauce.
