For Assembling your ravioli-
first roll the ravioli into a large rectangle shape than cut it from the middle and add your filling on one of the side, leave one inch gap while filling cause we will be further cutting it. after u have added your filling take the other sheet of pasta dough (that you had cut before) and place on top of your filling than with your fingers go along the side of the filling to make it look like as if the filling is bubbled up press the sides of the ravioli and then with a pizza cutter cut into squares or you could also roll out your dough (thin) and cut small squares and add the filling and fold in half, or you can make any shape you like. take some water in a deep pan let it simmer than take your ravioli and add them in your simmering water and once it floats up its ready and serve with your sauce. but if you want fired ravioli coat your ravioli in egg and bread crumbs and fry until golden brown than take it out and serve it hot with your sauce and if you want you can serve your boiled and fried ravioli together too with sauce
