These can be made larger and called tortelli. Ravioli or tortelli can be stuffed with numerous different ingredients.

Serves 10

• 6 cloves fresh garlic

• 1 fresh shallot

• 1/4 bunch fresh oregano

• 4 thick slices crusty Italian bread (either stale or toasted)

• 3/4 pound lean ground beef

• 3/4 pound lean ground pork

• 1/4 cup fresh-grated Asia go, Parmesan, or Romano cheese

• Fresh-cracked black pepper

• 1 recipe Basic Pasta, unformed and uncooked (recipe follows)

1. Peel and mince the garlic and shallot. Clean and dry the oregano and chop the leaves (discard the stems). Soak the bread in water, then squeeze out all excess water.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the beef, pork, cheese, pepper, garlic, shallot, oregano, and bread.

3. Roll out the pasta dough on a floured surface into a sheet about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 3-inch squares.

4. Place 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of the meat mixture in the center of each square. Lightly wet the edges with water using a small pastry brush or your finger. Fold over 1 corner to form a triangle, and seal together the edges.

5. Bring a large pot of water to a slow boil. Add the pasta, and cook for about 20 minutes. Drain, and serve as desired.
