Sausage & Cheese Filling for Ravioli

Remove casing from the sausage.  On the stove, over medium-high heat, add the sausage and cook.  Break up the sausage while it is cooking.  Once the sausage is cooked, transfer it to a food processor.  Pulse to finely chop the sausage.  Set aside to completely cool.

In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, parsley, S&P and mix well.  Add the sausage to the cheese mixture and mix well to combine all ingredients.

Line a baking sheet with a Silpat sheet or with parchment paper.   Place Won Ton wrappers onto the baking sheet.

Mix the cornstarch and water; whisk well.

Making Ravioli

Add about 1 tablespoon of the sausage and cheese mixture onto each Won Ton Wrapper.  Using a pastry brush, dip it into the cornstarch/water mixture, let the excess water run off the brush.  Brush around the edges of the Won Ton wrapper and around the meat/cheese mixture.  Place another Won Ton wrapper on top and pinch around the entire wrapper and around the mixture to seal it.  Using a fork, crimp around the edges (around the entire ravioli).  Place back onto the baking sheet and repeat process until all ravioli are done.  If you need a second layer, you can place a piece of parchment paper on top of the bottom layer of ravioli then add more ravioli on top of the parchment paper.

Place in fridge to chill.  I chilled my ravioli for about an hour.

Fill a large pot with water, place on stove over high heat.  Once the water is boiling, add kosher salt (big handful) and a drizzle of some olive oil.  Start stirring the water and add the ravioli 1 at a time (stirring while adding the ravioli keeps them from dropping to bottom and sticking).  Continue stirring and adding the ravioli until you add the desired amount.  Make sure you have a gentle boil on the water after adding the ravioli.  You may need to turn the heat down to medium or even medium-low if necessary.  Cook for approx. 5-10 minutes.  The ravioli will float to the top when they are done.
