Roll the dough thin enough to see your hand through it, because doubled-over ravioli edges get thick and gummy fast. Press out every air pocket as you seal or the pillows balloon and burst in the boiling water.

The Ingredients — and where to get them
Cook for4servings
Fresh pasta dough
Egg dough rolled thin is the whole texture; a rough tough sheet ruins delicate ravioli.
Can you make Cheese Ravioli in an air fryer? — Sometimes
Sometimes — if the pieces are small and cooked dry, an air fryer can handle it in a single layer; anything saucy or liquid needs a pan. When in doubt, the stovetop or oven is the safe call.
Can you freeze Cheese Ravioli? — Yes
Yes — cool it, portion into airtight containers, and freeze; thaw in the fridge and reheat.
Can you make Cheese Ravioli ahead of time? — Yes
Yes — it needs the chill time to set, so making it ahead is the whole point.
Is Cheese Ravioli gluten-free? — Not as written
Not as written — it contains gluten. Make it gluten-free: swap in a gluten-free pasta or noodle (check the other labels too).
Is Cheese Ravioli vegan? — Vegetarian, not vegan
It’s vegetarian but not vegan as written — it has dairy and egg. Make it vegan: use plant milk, oil, or a vegan cheese for the dairy, and a flax or aquafaba egg for the egg.
