Easy Ravioli Making with a Ravioli Plate
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 09. 2010
- A ravioli plate is another tool to help you make ravioli easily! They come in different sizes and shapes. John Mangiapane demonstrates how to make perfect ravioli using this tool easily available online and in stores. Also see John other ravioli video using a ravioli attachment - • Easy Ravioli Making wi... .
This Ravioli Plate vs. the Atlas attachment? Why buy one over the other?
Size of finished ravioli, mostly; also the type of filling preferred. A plate makes 10-12 medium-sized ravs - enough to cover the average dinner plate. Some people prefer dozens of tiny ravs - what the attachment will make. Also, if you like chunks of lobster, shrimp, or fish in your ravs the plate is a much better idea; the filling for the attachment needs a smooth pureed filling. I prefer the plates, myself, but as a teacher I need to show my students other possibilities - including the checkered pin - which makes small-sized but large numbers of ravs quickly. Watch my videos and see which one would be the best choice for you. MANGIA !!!
I would buy it in case and put it away....you might not get it at a good price later on.
God, 12 years later.. still this video is teaching people. What a fun video. Thank you!
Thank you so much John, I found my vintage vitantonio ravioli maker at a garage sale in the original box and didn't know how to use it, you are an excellent teacher.
Just picked up a vitantoni ravioli plate (with dimpler) @ a local thrift shop. Thank you for demonstrating how to use it. Fabulous! Thank you, again.
Excellent! Many times you find the plate at a flea market without the 'dimpler'; in truth - it isn't completely necessary to have one, but it does give all your ravioli the same beautiful curve! Thank you! Enjoy! MANGIA!!!
John-
First, let me say thank you. Your dedication and passion for italian cuisine has enriched our lives. We've got a ravioli plate and couldnt quite make it work.... until YOUR video. I appreciate your time, effort and understanding of the "uninitiated" italian chef. We were able to take your top-notch advice and perspective and create a wonderful family style italian feast. Coupled with a little (a lot) red wine, a decent pasta maker, good flour, and quality mentorship via CZcams's number one ravioli chef, we were able to achieve ravioli nirvana.
In many ways, the word genius is over used, but please, understand that your patience, your virtue and your simple love of cooking, shines through in such an earnest way. We appreciate your time, your energy, your wisdom and your great dang cooking! Cheers!
Team Jones.
WOW! I am rather humbled by your excellent review of what I consider a simple video of something I learned to do so long ago I can't remember! Please try your hand at making tortellini and cappelletti! Making fresh pasta is addictive! Thank you so much again for your kind words ... and MANGIA !!!
Great video! I am a university culinary instructor and with Covid I have to use videos to show technique, rather than in person. Next Saturday we are making ravs and I am sharing your video with my students! Thank you!
The video was helpful and enjoyable. I bought my ravioli plate 30 some years ago and haven't used it much. Now I have a pasta machine and will use it more often. Homemade are better than store bought!
Thank you! I've been wanting to learn forever, and just found a ravioli plate at a flea market yesterday!! So excited to try!
Excellent! If the plate came with the 'dimpler' - great! If it didn't - no matter! Even spoonfuls of filling will stretch the dough into beautiful ravioli! Congratulations on your find- and MANGIA!!!
Brilliantly done. Thank you for explaining and demonstrating so clearly. You make it look so easy, I'm going to try it!
Excellent video! Going to try to make pumpkin ricotta ravioli today :)
I love the fact that you prepared your work surface with a clean tablecloth...that's a best practice that I'm going to start doing when making pasta. Thanks again :)
Great video - I find it much easier to place the plate in the freezer for 10 minutes and then the ravs will come out quite easily. So by having a couple of trays (mine hold 36 ravs) they can be rotated while filling the other.
Excellent! Remember - you can add chopped spinach to the pasta for green dough, tomato paste for red dough, and puree veggies to add to the filling - endless ways to prepare the little pillows and endless ways to make the filling! Enjoy! I hope you're toddler grows up to be a pasta maker, too! MANGIA!!!
Thanks for showing me how to use my ravioli plates! I got a pair of them with metal dimple plates for $2.75 at Goodwill today. So excited to use them!
Lucky you!
@Patty121855
I picked up Williams Sonoma ravioli plate at the Good Will years ago for $3. It makes a mess of ravioli in no time. I also have an Atlas pasta machine to roll out the dough. Although the ravioli attachment for the Atlas looks like fun, it is a lot more expensive than $3!
Thanks for sharing this! I've been making ravioli by hand and it's been quite a chore and I was ready to give up and just start filling store bought manicotti and shells! I'm going to get on of these very soon.
Great video! Very informative...THANK YOU for showing us how to use this tool, I was on track to do it all wrong but not now!!
This guy is awesome. Gives you the info you need without rambling on. Loved it! Thanks.
Thank you so much! A picture is worth 1,000 words~! MANGIA !!!
Excellent tutorial...I'm going to try to make pumpkin ricotta ravioli today. I like how you have prepared your work surface with a clean tablecloth...that's a best practice that I'm going to adopt. Thanks again!
Aloha and thank your detailed ravioli making technique. My plate just arrived and I was completely lost on how to use it. Ravioli making here I come!
@ily783 Thank you so much for your kind words! Be sure to try again! MANGIA!
Great video! I recently bought the same size plate, the medium, and I'm thrilled to see that it is easy to do.
The Medium plate is a good size to work with - remember - ravioli swell up in the cooking process! Ten medium-sized ravioli will cover the average dinner plate. Also remember: fresh pasta should be gently boiled and do not need a vigorous, rolling boil to cook thoroughly. MANGIA !!!
@caOsweeet - You are very welcome! Although it seems like a no-brainer, a little visual demonstration of how something works is always a welcome thing. MANGIA!
Making my own rav has always been a dream - thanks for the info and inspiration.
Grazie.
Great video! You answered all my questions about this method. Thank you Sir!
Thank you! Great explanation. Never too old to learn 🙂
Thanks for the advice. I asked about chunky filling... you suggested the plates...this is exactly what we've been using the last several years...I just like to mix it up sometimes and try something new and possibly faster/easier... My family made 300 raviolis the other day using two plates and the kitchen aid roller attachment... My mother makes the filling (a meat and spinach mixture)...
Thanks so much John! I bought the same ravioli press by Vitantonio Mfg Co and could never figure out how to use it correctly. This will be a great help to me and my ravioli helpers on our next ravioli party!!!!!
Ravioli Party? YES! Make some different fillings and share with each other! MANGIA!!!
Great video John, thank you for sharing, can't wait to try this!
Awesome tutorial...can't wait to try it!
This is great!!! I wanna sit down at YOUR table. Definitely subscribing!
Well done! Perfect little tutorial for my first ravioli-making-experience. Cute little sign off too;) "Mangia!" ...loved it.
Wow, that was nice, i had never seen those plates before, very practical! I want one of those plates.. thanks for uploading!
This was a *really* helpful video, as we were confused by the ravioli plate. Thanks so much for putting this up here!
+Nick Shabazz Yes~! For something that has no moving parts - without an explanation it might be difficult to understand 'WHAT do I DO with this thing?' LOL! Thank you for your comments and please watch the rest of my pasta-making videos. MANGIA !!!
We just had some excellent ravioli thanks (in large part) to your advice. Thanks again :D
You are VERY welcome! Who knew what impact a simple 'how-to' video could have? Thank you very much! MANGIA !!!
Great video. We just bought one of these and had no idea how to use it. Also, I admire a man who can cook!
Thank you! Of all my methods - I use the ravioli plate the most often. MANGIA !!!
Just picked up a brand new ravioli press like this today for 95¢! My kids and I are gonna have fun making some ravioli. Thanks for the demo!
Great video. Informative, concise, and well-edited. Thanks!
Thank you sooooo much for this informative video ! I got my ravioli maker /press today and could not figure out how to use it, haha. Now I know. Subscribed !
Great video, thanks for that, explained and shown well, now its time to try it myself
@AmalgmousProxy Thank you for your kind response! Remember, for everything there is a hard way, and easy way, and a BETTER way! MANGIA!!!!!
Great video! I'm passsionate about my new pasta making hobby. It is so delicious! Thanks for making this look so easy.
It is very easy! A ravioli plate is the fastest way to make consistent ravioli. Good luck with your new (edible) hobby! MANGIA!!!
you turned me into a ravioli maker about 2 years ago...now i own two rolling pins of different sizes...two plates...the imperia pasta maker and pasta attachments for my kitchen aid mixer and all of them are ok to make ravioli ...it seems it is more a matter of choice...i like the big rolling pin...also i make my filling with chorizo and parmesan cheese ...everyone likes my ravioli around here...thanks for inspiring me
Hi! I use my ravioli plate for making a spiced pumpkin ravioli, a fresh Maple-Apple bechamel with sauteed baby portabella mushrooms. Its crazy-good and is a nice change from making traditional ravioli fillings!
Thank you for the great lesson! Looking forward to using my new ravioli plate - it's got to look better than my last attempt :).
Enjoy your new ravioli plate - it's so easy to use! MANGIA !!!
This was a great video! Thanks for making.
Very helpful, thank you for taking the time to make this.
Great video! Thanks so much!
Really enjoyed your personality and honesty!!
Thank you so much! Enjoy making delicious pasta for your family! MANGIA !!!
And it is so easy and fun to do! Try several different methods and choose the one that works best for you! MANGIA !!!
Thanks John! I went to a class but needed a refresher - Excellent!
I'm glad you enjoyed my video; CZcams can be a wonderful font of information! MANGIA !!!
Excellent! May you have many happy hours making ravioli and experimenting with different fillings! MANGIA !!!
Was so long looking for a video of to use the contraption. Hey thanks.
Oh, I'm SO glad I found this video! I got a ravioli plate for Christmas and finally got around to using it and the directions on the box were not entirely clear. You don't even want to know what I was doing with the darn thing, but trust me:I spent way more time freeing the ravioli than anything else. How thin do you roll the dough? What numerical setting on the pasta machine, I mean. Mine was rolled out to 6, I think, which was thin and silky but very very very difficult to work with.
Excellent video. I was looking for something to help me decide what I needed to buy to make ravioli. I thought of an attachment for my Atlas machine, but this looks perfect without complications. Nicely paced video - good job! :)
Thank you! The machine attachment makes great but smallish ravioli whereas a plate comes in small through jumbo sizes. I recommend a plate labeled 'Medium' or 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 or 2 x 2 inch sized ravs since they do swell while cooking. Check large kitchen stores and on line for plates - tag sales, too! MANGIA !!!
@Brent2236 Yes - a good visual beats having any written instructions. Thank you ! MANGIA!
Thanks for the video. I want to make gluten free ravioli, but don't want to buy a lot of accessories. Now that you've demonstrated the ravioli plate, I feel confident I can make perfect ravioli. Thanks!!
Excellent! Thank you for your comment! A ravioli plate will never wear out! Of all the methods shown in my videos, I still prefer the finished size and ease of making using the ravioli plate. MANGIA!!!
Muchas gracias 😊
Thank you so much for this, now ill be making my own ravioli for my whole family. No more store bought. Long live homemade
Thank you! I tried to make my explanations as easy and as clear as I could. MANGIA!
looks great - well done
Thank you for your comment! Enjoy making your ravioli! MANGIA!!!
Thankyou so much!! I'm going to go get one of these today and I'm so exited. We are a not so well off family, and this is a great way to get veggies in my toddler for cheap. I've been looking forward to making these for like a month. :)
blend veggies into a chunky-ish puree then use in meatloaf, meatballs,soups, stews, etc. the puree makes everything taste better and they'll never know they eating all those good veggies.
Good on you for making your own pasta and ravioli. You're eating better food and living healthier than a lot of people and saving money doing it.
Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out how to use the ravioli plate!
@23hopsing THROW ... them ...OUT??? NEVER! LOL! Unlike cookie dough, pasta dough can be rerolled together and reused; sprinkle a little water if the dough gets dry. You can also just take the leftover strips, cut them up and let the pieces dry - then add the pasta chips to soups, or just boil the strips up and eat them with sauce. They are still pasta, after all!
Throw out food? You must NOT be Italian! LOL!!! MANGIA!!!!!
Great video! For some reason it just wasn't clicking for me how to use the mold I ordered until I saw this. Much appreciated!
Thank you, Joe! As they say - a picture is worth 1,000 words and a video presentation is priceless! Have fun making lots of homemade ravioli! MANGIA!!!!
This video is so helpful!! Thank you!!
I just received a ravioli maker, as in your video...thanks for the informative lesson!!!
thank you. i ordered this plate over 2 years ago and have yet to use it because i never got around to making pastas. i bought an atlas pasta roller and am now making all kinds of pasta, so i pulled this out and realized i'd forgotten how to use it lol
thanks for your instruction video. there is some leftover bolognese in the fridge and i will be making ravioli for dinner tomorrow.
Once you start making pasta - you'll never stop! Enjoy your pasta roller and ravioli plate! Watch my other videos for making tortellini and cappelletti! MANGIA !!!
There are many videos with pasta dough recipes. Mine is: 1 egg & 1 cup flour per person, 1tbsp olive oil, 2 pinches salt, and a sprinkling of water. Add flour or water as necessary; knead to make an elastic dough that does not stick to your hand when dropped to the table. Let rest 30 minutes before putting through a pasta roller/sheeter. Filling is ricotta cheese, grated Parmesean, egg, parsley, salt, & pepper to taste. It's all very simple & easy. I make ravioli all the time. Enjoy! MANGIA !!!!
Great video! Thanks for the video, better than most.
Thanks, John! I was looking at this tray like, "how the heck do I use this?" making pumpkin gorgonzola ravioli now!
Sounds delicious! Save some for me! MANGIA !!!
thank you for demonstrating how to make ravioli....i like this method...you get more filling in each of the ravioli as opposed to the kitchenaid way of doing it....although when you are making as many ravioli as you did in one of your other vids...the only way of doing it would have to be the machine way....
Well done my friend! Thanks for posting!
Great video--thanks for posting! Very helpful in my ravioli journey!
@TheElectVideos You're more than welcome! MANGIA !!!!!!!!
Really helpful! Excited to do this. Thanks for the video - very helpful and fun!
And it is so easy to do, Ashley! Using a plate also allows you to do things like put a small shrimp or a piece of lobster in each pillow. MANGIA !!!
Thank you for asking! The Ravioli plate with 2.5" x 2.5" ravs (10 to a plate) was made by 'Villaware - #5500'. The one with the 2" x 2" ravs (12 to a plate) is made by "NorPro # 1043"; Norpro also makes the checkered ravioli pin I use in another video. The triangles plate 1.5" ravs (24 to a plate) is made by a company called 'Raviolatrice'; they also have round, square, and star-shaped ravioli plates. MANGIA !!!
Mille grazie. I like the medium ravioli as well. Am going to check out Villaware.
Omg thank you! My husband bought me a ravioli plate for Christmas and it did not come with instructions. Thank you for showing me how to use it!
Lesley Miller As they say - a picture is worth 1,000 words. Good Luck with your future ravioli! MANGIA!!!
So lovely chef 👨🍳
gracias!!!!!
@Steelshooter Thank you! I hope you will also view my other pasta videos, and find them helpful as well! MANGIA!
tarotbear cant seem to find all your pasta videos
looks easy enough, we'll see how it goes!!! Thank you so much
Thank you for viewing my videos! A video explanation is worth 1,000s of pictures! Have fun! Just be sure the pasta is not too thick since you have to crush 2 layers together to seal the edges and you want the pasta to cook thoroughly. MANGIA!!!
Very good and instructional video. Thanks so much for making and posting it.
poker slob You're very welcome! MANGIA !!!
Great video!!!! Thank you so much!
i bought a plate that looks like the one you are using here...although the one i got has the "dimpler", as you called it, attached to the top and it makes 12 at the time.....i made ravioli with hot sausage, parmesan cheese and eggs.....with red meat sauce.....they came out so good, nothing got wasted....by the way i forgot to subscribe the last time but i am doing it now...thank you for your vids they are very helpful
Thank you o much for this video. I bought one of those ravioli metal plate forms in a thrift store but didn't know how to use it. I never would have though to use a rolling pin over it! I assumed you just had to press the top and bottom sections together. i think there are two plates to it, but both are metal, not one metal and one plastic. I think one has little dips in it for the filling.
I will definitely check out your other videos to see how you make your dough and the sheets. Yesterday I bought a Simac Pasta Maker 700 at the same thrift store for 15 dollers. I thought it was the bargain of the century until I read the bad reviews on Amazon. One said it has some kind of black motor oil inside that leaked into th ravioli dough! Another reviewer said that their machine had bits of metal flaking off into the dough. He realized this when he put the dough in his microwave for some reason and it arced electricity! Some reviewers said it started to smoke or shut off their outlet. I probably won't even take it out of the box now, just throw it out.
I love, love, love raviolis and am undaunted about making homemade ones. I had to do a lot of internet searching and reading today to realize that there are TWO kinds of electric pasta makers. One, the extruder type ONLY makes the pasta shapes from pre-made dough. The other kind will mix the dough for you as well as flatten and shape it. I THINK a food processor will make the dough, and now I am thinking about just buying a manual roller to thin and stretch the dough into sheets after I make my own dough in my food processor. Maybe you can tell me how you make your dough sheets. I will check out your other videos to see if you have one on that aspect of ravioli making. Thank you for this upload, now I know at least how to use that little gizmo I bought in the thrift store!
planetizationrising I did the same thing working with the moulds for first time using them, seems like the most logical process. learn something new everyday.
What number do you stop at when you're rolling your pasta for ravioli through the hand crank pasta roller?
@tfin613 The medium ravioli are 2 1/2" square; it is a Villa or Villaware # 5500. A plate (12" x 5 1/4") makes 10 medium ravioli. I like this size the best. The smaller plate is 2" squares; it is NorPro # 1043. That plate (12" x 4 1/4") makes 12 smaller ravioli. A platesworth is enough to feed the average person. They do swell when cooked! You can also buy round or square presses that make one at a time in some kitchen shops. MANGIA !!!! (And Thank You!)
Thank you for this wonderful video, I heard you can also Bake the ravioli. Take care John
Thank you for your kind comments! Once you can make ravioli, you can also make cavetelli and capellini, manicotti .... MANGIA !!!
Grazie!
I had 2 wooden plates I inherited from my Nonna when she passed. They were old and reminded me of when she would make ravioli from time to time. I've yet to make them myself but when I moved last year, movers lost 23 boxes so the ravioli plates were gone...so was her gnocchi board which I used very often. So upset I have to buy the boards now to make ravs. I'd have preferred the ones I remembered from being a child. At least now I know how to use them. Thanks for the video instruction!
Bello ! Grazia tante , Bacione !
Thank you for the video! Can I ask what is the best way to store left over pasta? Can you store uncooked Pasta ( Ravioli) so that you can cook it fresh, or do you have to cook first, & then freeze? Also, I bought the kitchen Aid Ravioli Attachment, but one down side about that way, is that they are very small.. I like the ability to do various sizes, also for me some of the raviolis did not always seal.. I think this way looks easier, & more efficient plus like you said ability to do various sizes & shapes.. Thanks again!
Nice job. Thanks. I learned a lot.
Thanks! This was really helpful.
Thank you!
Just bought a set of ravioli makers, now know how to use it, thank you for your video
Excellent! The holidays are coming - learn to make all sorts of amazing ravioli for your loved ones! MANGIA!
Great video. I have a ravioli roller attachment for my pasta machine, but I like this plate you used. Looks much easier and neater. Can you tell me where you bought the plate? And did it come with the plastic piece to tamp down the filling? Thank you.
excelent video! Had never seen that ravioli plate. Its sooo cool. One question though: if i make a lot of raviolis but only cook half of them, how can i store the other half? fridge? freezer? or must i only make what im going to cook?
Great video. Just what I was looking for. Grazia!
Lisa Kaplan Gordon Prego! MANGIA !!!
Thank you for the video....I found one at goodwill. I will try to make.
