      Ya never know, my Son and I made Ravioli once a month for years when he was a Teenager. It's actually fun to do, we would try different fillings every time. He and I played Video Games together on the Weekend and we'd take a break and go make the dough, play some more games, then go roll it out, I have a Hand Crank Pasta Machine, so I would crank and feed and he would catch and fold. The Ravioli gizmo I have is like an Ice Cube Tray you lay the flat pasta over the tray and press the dough down into the "cup" and then spoon in your filling and then another layer of Pasta on top to seal the Ravioli and a Roller that came with it was pressed and rolled over the Pasta and the Tray had a nice edge that cut the Ravioli apart. Yeah it's a little work but, MOST good cooking is... A cool Date Night Meal with a Special Person for sure.

    My hungarian great-grandmother had that device you were using. Gnocci board?
    When i visited Hungary i was amazed by tge culture around the pasta. The rolling board was a piece of art, mostly given by boys to the girl who they wanted to marry. They burned the name of the girl into the board.
    Ladies used it for a lifetime, they took care of it like as if it was gold. When october hit, they used to gather in somebody's house to make "snailshell pasta" as they calked it, and they were rolling tge pasta for hours. Meanwhile they were singing and telling stories and the kids were playing by the fire - it must have been amazing.
    It made me think if what we have lost by adjusting to the modern life.

    Well not today. But i used to be scared of making a mess on the kitchen. If i knew that you could use the mixer to make the dough i would've done it sooner.
    You are the first one i saw saying you have that option. And for the smartasses on the block. In theory the mixer could screw up the dough( Like making too much gluten, making the dough too chewy) and yeah it is a reason for people to be afraid of trying it without someone saying it's okay to do so

    so if I cook for 4 then 4 cup of flour and 4 eggs? right? also if I don't have a kitchen aid pasta maker, then can I just roll it? by hand?
