Instructions
Filling directions
Cook sausage in a pan on medium heat.
Chop and mince all filling ingredients. Combine onion, celery. mushrooms, garlic and salt in a bowl and stir in avocado oil.
Add to a large pot on medium heat and cook until vegetables soften, approximately 5-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, when the sausage is cooked, finely mince it with a meat grinder or knife.
Add the sausage to the vegetable filling and continue cooking, stirring occasionally.
Stir in spinach, basil and Italian parsley and heat for another couple of minutes before turning off heat and allowing the mixture to cool.
Pasta directions
Lay out flour on a marble or stone surface
Place all the ingredients into the center of the flour pile
Gently combine all the ingredients until you form a dough and roll into a ball
Wrap and let stand at room temp for 30 minutes
Ravioli directions
Roll out pasta dough as flat and thin as possible with a rolling pin -or- (preferably!) use a pasta maker to flatten out.
Using a knife, pasta cutter or ravioli mold cut out the pasta into ravioli shapes.
Spoon a dollop of filling onto half of all of the pieces and cover with the other halves, pinching the sides to seal shut. Lay out on a baking sheet.
Either freeze the ravioli on a baking sheet and after an hour or so, store it in an airtight container in the freezer for future use OR prepare it.
When preparing to eat, boil for 4-5 minutes in salted water and serve immediately with olive oil or a sauce. (We served ours with our quick white wine tomato sauce. Enjoy!

Notes
Our first attempt at making ravioli ended in a verrrry yummy filling with too-thick raviolis because we did it without a pasta maker! Lesson learned and we promptly got one and won't go back!
