Ravioli Making Contest

We put the challenge out to our friend to have a Ravioli making contest/dinner party

I made the pasta

On a sheet pan Add 3 1/2 cups of unbleached flour

make a well in the center

Whip 4 large eggs and pour in the well,

using a fork pull flour into center keep doing this until it forms together.

Start kneading using your palms for about 3 mins

keep dusting with flour if it becomes too wet

When its a perfect ball wrap in plastic and let it rest.for a half hour at room tempature

Now your ready to roll your dough in the pasta maker

take off a fist size piece and flatten with your hands

Start with number 5 and roll it

move to 4

3 and down to 1 you should have a nice flat long piece of pasta

Now your ready to fill it with your favorate filling

Here's what we did

Invited 4 friends so we had 6 people.

They had to decide what there filling and there sauce was going to be and bring that stuff with they.

I hand made the pasta but each person had to roll out there own dough.

Each person has 30 mins to cook there filling, make there sauce, roll there pasta.

Stuff them and plate them and serve to the other 5 people.

We had judging sheets out of 1-5

2 categories best tasting and best presentation

The cook had to collect the plates and wash them and clean kitchen for the next person.
