Ingredients:

To make ravioli with roast sauce, you will need:

For Ravioli

-1lb Rolled Egg Pasta Dough

-3/4lb Ground Beef

-1/4 Cup of Parmesan Cheese

-1 Teaspoon of Salt

-1 Teaspoon of Pepper

For Roast Sauce

-1lb of Beef Chuck Roast

Instructions:

For Ravioli

To get started, make the pasta dough and set it to rest for about thirty minutes. Then, roll it out about 1/32 of an inch thick. Once it is rolled out, start making balls that are about 1 inch in diameter. Set them aside.

To prepare the filling, mix the ground beef, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl, ensuring it is well combined.

Place a small amount (about one teaspoon) of filling onto one circle of pasta. Use another circle to cover the filling and press the edges together to seal.

Cut the raviolis and cook them for about three minutes in boiling salted water.

For Roast Sauce

To make the roast sauce, preheat your oven to 350°F and place your beef chuck roast onto a baking sheet. Roast the beef for about an hour or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

After the meat has roasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool before dicing it into small chunks.

Next, heat up a large skillet on medium heat and add some olive oil. Add garlic and onions and sauté them until the onions get translucent.

Add tomato paste and stir it until it forms a thick mixture. Then, add broth, wine, salt, pepper, and thyme to the skillet and stir everything together.

Add your diced beef to the skillet and let everything simmer for about ten minutes.
