Homemade Ravioli with Chef Frank

Making fresh ravioli is a skill every serious cook should know. In this video I go over two methods of making ravioli. Ravioli takes a bit of technique. I hope this video helps.

I'm going to be 68 in September & when I was in 8th grade I helped my Mom make homemade raviolis from an old Italian recipe that was made from beef brains, beef sweet breads & beef kidneys & fresh onions, garlic, herbs & I believe it had Parmesan cheese in it also & the homemade red sauce recipe as well. We made them for the holidays. I don't have photo to share since it was so long ago but wanted to share the experience. I wish I still had the recipe but unfortunately it was lost in time. I came over from Max Miller's channel & have also subscribed to your channel as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & recipes with us. Would love to see you do any of the old recipes you may have come across, like the one's my Mom found in her day.

[@arhamisthegeek5466]

To anyone who doesn’t have a piping bag: You can put your filling in a ziplock bag and cut open a hole in one of the corners of your ziplock bag after you’ve sealed it.

[@alexachen996]

It does work in a pinch, but with thicker stuff like these meat and cheese fillings the seal down the side of the zip lock bags tends to burst. If you’re doing something light like whipped cream, or a mousse it doesn’t have problems, but the strain of the heavier stuff being squeezed out blows them out.

💜LOVE💜 the addition of the mortadella in your meat filling, Chef! We tend to keep the finishing sauces super simple to highlight our homemade ravioli: brown butter & fresh sage, or blistered cherry tomatoes & olive oil, all dusted with a grating of Parmesan, of course!!! 😋😋😋 Have you tried them deep fried, or toasted St. Louis style??? I **highly** recommend it! 💜💜💜

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Thank you Chef Frank, would you please post a video about mushroom Filling for ravioli.

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Great suggestion!

[@davidbarnett8617]

The pasta attachment for the kitchenaid mixer is well worth the money. The hand crank is fine, of course, but sometimes clamping it on to something is problematic. Plus, the attachment really makes making pasta fun and keeps both hands free so you can guide the pasta sheets through more easily.

[@alexachen996]

Definitely helpful for those of us that don’t have as much skill as our man Frank here! 😂 (looking at myself here...)

[@redoorn]

The piping bag is a good idea.

[@mrkattm]

a light grating of fresh nutmeg in the cheese filling is a nice touch.

[@knighthawk3749]

You inspired me to unbox my pasta machine that was given to me as a gift that I never used before. Just need to find my mother's old crimper and I am making ravioli. Have you ever made Russian Vareniki? Unlike thicker Polish Pirogi they are made with thin fresh dough, much like you made. The fillings are very different though. Don't expect something savory when you ask for the cheese filling. 😁

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

I have had plemni (spelling) so good

[@knighthawk3749]

@@ProtoCookswithChefFrank Pelmeni. They taste so different though since they are made with raw meat that cooks inside the dough pocket. Not sure what method the meat cooks though when you boil them: steam? parboil? braise?

[@davidmyers-wakeman5515]

Hey Frank, we would love to watch you make that stuffed chicken wing recipe from last week's Epicurious!

[@Roberto-oi7lm]

A fact which is rarely pointed out is that some pasta rolling machines use a high number (8) for the thickest setting and some use low numbers (1) for the thickest setting. Don't be fooled by going strictly by the numbers suggested by any video recipe. Start on thick and work your way down towards thin using settings appropriate for your individual machine.

[@Blackmuhahah]

Sooo I have a question about freezing. I've made Ravioli a few times, and I tried freezing them, but they end up tearing when I cook the frozen ones. I've tried different thicknesses and one more and one less hydration pasta dough, but whatever I do they develop ridges while freezing which crack open when I boil them. Is there something I'm missing?

[@Sqwirle]

Bought myself a pasta roller today 🧂🧂🧂

Hi Chef Frank, which portable cooktop do you use? I see that you are fancy-schmancy with all your kitchen tools... Appreciate your teaching!

There is a link in the description for all of the equipment I use

[@LL-sd2fc]

Oh, thanks. I will check it out.

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

I'm so glad Frank did this one on his own channel. That 3 levels of Ravioli on Epicurious seemed a little over the top for me, especially the size, color, and the duck egg. Don't get me wrong, if Frank made it for me I'd TOTALLY eat it, but I'm more likely to make ravioli off of this video instead.

[@killme3043]

I might have missed it in the pasta video, but that is a ton of dough when I typically am cooking for myself. Can you freeze the dough? Or is it stable in the fridge for like a week?

[@Kroiznacher]

You could dry your pasta

[@Iceycube1404]

I feel like "sea salty" is not a good indicator. Baltic sea is like 0.3% salt, dead sea is 30-ish % salt. Both can be considered sea salty. So how salty is sea salty? :]

[@Sqwirle]

Hi Frank, with all the off cuts of pasta can it be used for another dish or with a bit of sauce? Nice to see you again on epicurious

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Yes. You could cook them an toss with sauce

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

@Frank: What do you do with the pasta dough you cut off the ravioli?

[@elizabethkrol5538]

I was also wondering this.

[@alexachen996]

Some people discard it, but you can also just cut it all to a similar size and cook it then toss with the sauce of your choice for a yummy snack. If you were making ravioli to freeze for future use it would make the perfect little meal to sit down to after you finish without much extra prep. Because who wants to cook a whole meal right after meal prepping. 😊

I have a question regarding the prosciutto part. If you can get the fat rendered out from the prosciutto do you still need the oil? It seems like a lot of fat in the pan. I'm just curious not trying to criticize or anything similar

Even if the prosciutto gives off fat I still add olive oil. If want to skip the oil it’s ok.

"If you don't have one of these you can still cook." I respectfully disagree Chef. My cereal box spoons are essential tools in my kitchen. My kids know 2 things in life are certian. 1. Mom will always taste test whatever she's cooking with the color changing trix spoon that's older than them and 2. Mom makes sure to get everything everywhere while she's cooking.
