• 1 recipe Egg-Free Pasta Dough
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 or 3 medium shallots, halved longwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices

6. Place another teaspoonful of filling on the pasta strip, about an inch below the first spoonful of filling
7. Repeat along the entire length of the dough strip
8. Lightly wet the edges of the dough with water and place a second strip of pasta on top of first one, covering the filling
9. Press the two layers of dough together between the portions of filling
10. Use a knife to trim the sides of the dough to make it straight, then cut across the dough in between each mound of filling to make square ravioli
11. Be sure to press out air pockets around filling before sealing
12. Use the tines of a fork to press along the edges of the dough to seal the ravioli
13. Transfer the ravioli to a floured plate and repeat with remaining dough and sauce
