- Roll into a ball
- Cling wrap
- Refrigerate for an hour
- Then remove it from fridge
- Divide into 2 parts
- Roll out absolutely thin, like a roti thin
- Brush with egg
- I used a toothpick to draw slight lines on the pasta, so I could see the size of each square
- Then place a tsp of filling in the center of the square
- Then roll out the other half exactly like the first, cover the other pasta (one with filling)
- Very carefully cut out the squares
- Seal edges
