These were a dessert ravioli/pierogi/varenky with strawberry jam filling
served in a sour cream sauce. Quite tasty.

I am a fan, too, of toasted ravioli (St. Louis Style) served in a good
red marinara gravy.

These can be boiled or toasted - either way looks decent.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Gluten Free Ravioli or Tortellini
Categories: Five, Pasta
     Yield: 1 recipe

 1 1/2 c  (202.5 g) G-F A P Flour.
     1 tb Extra virgin olive oil
   1/2 c  Very warm water
     2 c  Steamed spinach; (opt)
          Salt for water
          Pasta sauce.

MMMMM-------------------------FILLINGS-------------------------------
          Pesto
          Hummus
          Tapenade
.   Ground beef/pork/poultry;
.   - cooked
          Cheese
          Mashed potatoes, etc.

 Measure and add A-P Gluten Free Flour to a large bowl
 and form a shallow well in the flour. Add the oil and
 water a little at a time into the flour well and mix
 with pastry blender or fork until it all comes together
 into a smooth ball or disc. If adding steamed spinach,
 add into the dough at this time. Wrap in clear plastic
 wrap and allow to rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

 Bring a large pot of water to boil with salt. Remove
 half of the pasta dough and leave the other half
 wrapped. Roll it into the shape desired: ravioli,
 tortellini, lasagne, etc. Roll a little thinner than
 lasagne noodles - remember that you're putting two
 pieces of dough together so you don't want the edges to
 be thick and doughy, but the dough shouldn't be so thin
 that it's easy for the fillings to poke through. It
 doesn't matter the shape you cut the dough, just as long
 as you have pairs that match.

 For ravioli, prepare a clean counter or pastry mat by
 dusting with A-P Gluten Free Flour and cut with a large
 biscuit cutter or roll into long strips, cutting into
 equal-sized squares or rectangles.

 Drop a dollop of filling in the middle of every 2 pieces
 of dough. Dab the edges with wet fingers, and press the
 two sides together to seal; press the tines of a fork
 into the edges if desired, to make sure they are sealed.
 Set filled ravioli aside on a plate and cover with a
 damp towel while making remaining ravioli.

 Drop into boiling water. Cook for about 3 minutes - the
 dough will become more translucent and the raviolis
 should float before removing with a slotted spoon.

 For tortellini, make the square or circle larger than
 with the ravioli because you'll need more dough to bring
 the edges together. Fill as directed above, then fold
 the dough over itself, one corner to the opposite, then
 pull the other two corners together and dab with water
 to make them stick. Follow the directions below for
 boiling as you would ravioli.

 Serve warm with your favorite sauce.

 NOTES: Recipe is easily doubled.

 Add 1 mixed egg to dough for richer flavor or if using a
 pasta roller.
