I found this recipe for ravioli to be exact. Just remember to take you time incorporating the water to flour, and don't be afraid to use a lot more flour. This was my first time making homemade ravioli and I loved it, I will never buy store bought again. I made mine with a shrimp-roasted pepper alfredo sauce, rave reviews from my family and guests.I used olive oil to keep them from sticking together while cooking all of them worked like a charm.

It tasted delicious, but it was a bit too doughy for me. I think if I keep trying it I can make it right.




with a few modifications, it would be great

Although I didn't have quite as much trouble working with the dough as some of the other reviewers, I would definitely substitute wonton wrappers next time. The ravioli tasted more like dumplings-they were way too doughy. Maybe that's because I'm not that good with doughs-I can turn biscuits into rocks. They were also very time consuming. The filling was a little bland, so I might try some garlic in it next time or maybe more chicken than ricotta; I don't know. I'll definitely try again.




Dough problems

Well, my wife and I tried this recipe last night and had major problems with the dough. I wish I'd read the reviews first as we were disappointed with how sticky the dough was and were afraid to use too much flour. Now that I have read them, I think we might give it a try again because the filling was quite good. One thing we did do was change up the sauce a bit. Heat the olive oil in a small sauce pan along with the basil, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and pine nuts. Optionally you can add some fresh bacon bits. Pour the sauce over the ravioli then top it all off with some crumbled feta cheese. This sauce makes a great compliment to just about any pasta dish.




Good Filling, but . . .

The filling was really quite good and very easy. The dough was as I expected--thick. Ravioli dough needs to be rolled in a pasta machine. You just don't get the same delicacy with a rolling pin. At least, I didn't

I though this had great flavor,and was fairly easy to make.However I did use a stand mixer and a cookie cutter to make round Ravioli. plus if you have the pasta attachment and put the roller setting on 3 or the dough will be to thin.

Made this tonight for dinner and it turned out great. Followed the instructions as written. I did use my hands to work the dough a bit. I did not have any problem with the dough as others have mentioned. It turned out beautifully and rolled out very thin. It also used up every last bit of the filling which was great. Thanks Giada!

This is a great recipe. Since my husband and I are vegetarian, we skipped the chicken and it was still wonderful; a lot of people have mentioned that they had problems with the dough, and we had none. Here's a tip if you don't have a ravioli press: use a chopstick to press the sides of each ravioloi together and by pressing somewhat hard, it cuts through the dough and presses it together. My husband and I do this and it works quite well. We also find that black pepper is a nice combination with ricotta, and so for the filling used about a half teaspon of black pepper and it makes it nice and zesty.

I had trouble with the dough, wish I had read reviews first. With 2 1/2 cups of flour and only a cup of water seemed very dry and eventually, after really working it with my hands it started to come to somewhat. I saw a change int he flour amount from another review. Next I will use my kitchenaid with the dough hook to mix, I used my hands as a wooden spoon wouldn't get it. The filling needs something else just not sure what. Loved the lemon and basil in the sauce, I added small diced tomatoes tossed on top. I wish that the recipe was edited/fixed as it seems the dough recipe is wrong. There was an Emeril recipe that was wrong online as well.

okay I cheated when it came to the dough I used frozen high end cheese ravioli, but the sauce is very light and refreshing. I added an extra tablespoon of fresh basil and using fresh is the key. added salt as well, I will make these again.As for the comments on the dough, my dough recipe has a binder of an egg, and olive oil. I just don't see how they hold up when cooked. But I will try next time for the sake of trying. thank you

I love this recipe! I had no problem with the dough. Just make sure you cover it with plastic wrap while you aren't using it. I don't eat meat so I substituted sauted mushrooms chopped up into tiny pieces. I also added a little garlic and mozzerela to the filling and parm/reggiano to the sauce and it was delicious! My boyfriend said it was better than anything he has ever had in a restaurant! It took a lot of time to make but was so worth it.

I am an experienced ravioli maker and couldn't believe this dough would work out. I am glad to be wrong! It was easy to work with (the first time is a little tricky; just don't be afraid to use plenty of flour) but then it went like a breeze. 1 hour start to finish; simple to make, easy cleanup (dished were done before I served dinner), and the fresh taste of the lemmon zest and basil could not be beat. Truly an amazing dish. Would not hesitate to make it for company by making the ravioli ahead and boiling at dinner time. Not one of my raviolis burst open because I kept it at a gently simmer and put them in gently and tossed them gently at the end. Teenager wasn't too fond of them; probably a little too sophisticated for his taste. The dough has a lovely texture that I am sure you would miss if you used wonton wrappers.

I'm glad I read the reviews before making this. I attempted to make the raviolis with the dough, but like others, I found it very hard to work with. I had wonton wrappers on hand just in case, so I switched half way through and used them. They came out fantastic. The ones with the dough were just okay. I will definitely make these again using the wonton wrappers.

This is a wonderful, easy homemade recipe for ravioli. My family loves it whether I use Giada's sauce or a family favorite red sauce to accompany it (I've made it now several times). My only recommendations are: 1) don't work the dough too much, and 2) don't let the dough sit around for more than a few minutes while you make the raviolis. If you avoid these two things, you won't have tough ravioli, rather the nice, soft pillows that Giada intended. Also, I use a small biscuit cutter to make the shapes and it works quite nicely. Enjoy!

I knew I wanted to make these when I saw Giada make them on her show. It took me a while to track down the little ravioli stamp, but I found it at Sur La Table. I had to throw out my first batch because I put too much filling down. But other than that, these were REALLY tasty! The lemon sauce was perfect, but now I have the technique to make whatever other fillings I want! I'll definitely be making this again. And if I don't have a lot of time, I'll try the won ton wrapper route.

I had never made ravioli before and the dough was incredibly sticky. It was so difficult to work with, that I was ready to never make them again until I tasted them. They were so delicious that I will definately make them again. However, I will either get store-bought dough, use LOTS of extra flour, or use wonton wrappers as someone else suggested. The sauce was easy, and tasted great. I used both that and marinara, and it was fantastic.

These ravioli were delicious...I took the suggestion of another reviewer and used wonton wrappers instead of making my own dough (hard with an 18 month old running around) and they were so easy to work with. I added more chicken and a bit more of the cheeses, as the mixture did not look like enough to feed 5. The only downside is that while I was waiting for the 2nd batch to cook, the first batch stuck together in the bowl. I would suggest mixing some of the oil in with the first batch...I also added a couple more spoonfuls of the oil, as I thought they were a bit too dry. I wish I had doubled the recipe, a) for leftovers, and b) so I could have had more than 3 for dinner! The recipe didn't yield as many ravioli as I thought it would. I had my doubts about the sauce in the recipe, so I provided a jar of sauce for my guests just in case...it is still unopened.

my 12 year old son and i made these together and had a great time--not to mention how delicious these ravioli's are. i think next time we will roll the dough out a little thinner but it was good the way we did it. also, i had to use a little dry basil instead of fresh because i forgot to buy it at the store. i wanted something fresh to go into the ravioli's and sauce since i didn't have the fresh basil so i chopped a handful of spinach to add to the filling and another couple of handfuls of spinach to add to the sauce. we love spinach and i have to say, it was delicious!!! we will definitely make this again!

Before making these I read all of the reviews. Mine turned out wonderful. The only thing that I had to do differently was to use about 1 1/4 cup water for the dough. The first time I used only a cup and the dough was way too dry and crumbly, I just threw it away and started over. Everyone liked them, and next time we may try them with marinara instead of the EVOO sauce, just to change it up a bit.

This recipe was very delicious! My fiance, my brother, and my best guy friend devoured them and said they were delicious. The only problem I had was with the dough, it was quite messy. I had to add a little bit more water to each ball of dough I was working with. I added about an extra 1/2 cup of hot water overall. I used a fluted round cookie cutter instead of the ravioli cutter, but any shaped cookie cutter would be cute with these. They were delicious, the fresh basil made the dish.

I always think of spending all day in the kitchen making ravioli, well I made this last night and in about an hour we had frest wonderful ravioli. We tried it with the sauce and with marinara and I would recommend the sauce she says to put with it. I also put some carmelized onions in there. It was so delicious!!!!!




Delicious!

I made this tonight for my parents and they loved it! It's light and creamy and delicious! I didn't think the dough was going to work because while I was making it it appeared sort of grainy like the flour was not dissolving all the way but in the end it was great. Make sure you don't oversalt as I know the chickens in my grocery store are often very salty... if I make this again I may cut the amount of salt in the filling in half and add a small amount to the dough.




Simple and wonderful

My daughter (13 years old) and I made this recipe last night, it was so delicious! I couldn't beleive it when I saw Giada make this dough out of only flour and water, I had to try it! I am so glad I did, I will be making it often. The recipe is so easy to follow, and start to finish, it only took an hour. I have all of Giada DeLaurentiis' cookbooks and use a lot of the recipes found in all of them, she is an awesome cook, I love the show and the recipes!

This was creamy, delicious and not too difficult to make. The dough was simple so did not fight with filling and sauce. NOTE please go to FAQ's to e-mail show if recipe is flawed or does not appear... a poor rating is not helpful if you didn't try.




Better than expected

I didn't expect much from the flour and water only dough, but it was just fine. Mine didn't look as soft and light as Giada's, but it tasted okay. I had to add more water, even after measuring the flour carefully. The filling is delicious, and the olive oil and lemon with basil wasn't overpowering. Will make this again.




Best thing we ever tasted

My ten year old daughter and I made this last night. She's now become a pro at making ravioli. We didn't have a ravioli cutter so we used a knife then sealed the edges with fork tines. They were super easy and so delicious! I've wanted to make these since I saw them on Giada in Paradise. We left out the chicken so they were like the original recipe from Giada in Paradise. Wonderful!!!

Luckily I watched the show to get the recipe for the dough because it is missing from the recipe. The pasta was very good though. Add lots and lots of salt to the water for the pasta.

Made this and would like to thank those who posted the flour to water ratio. I didn't record it, just watched it and depended on FN to get the recipe right. Thanks to all the others who supplied this info. It really is a light, summery dish. It's easy to make quite tasty too. A keeper.

Lemon zest makes the dish a hit. Alittle difficult to taste the chicken, otherwise the dish was a wonderful twist to traditional ravioli.

this dish is very easy to make with alot of flavor...one of the things that i would recommend is if you don't own a pasta maker, just buy wonton wraps and don't forget to brush the edge with egg so it seals....loved it...

As much as I wanted to, I could not make the ravioli because measurements for the dough was omiited. It looked really easy on when Giada prepared it . So I was anxious to make it. Could you check the recipe and include measurements for the dough. I love Giada and most of her recipes re great. Thank you Joan Pulaski
