  • Brush the edges of the dough with egg white.
  • Add a teaspoon of the pork mince filling to each circle.
  • Close with another circle and press down on the edges to close the ravioli.
  • In a large pot, heat water over a high heat and add a pinch of salt.
  • Cook the ravioli for 8 minutes so that the ‘pasta’ is cooked but still al dente.
