Using rounded edge of (2 ½-in.) Biscuit Cutter, press around filling to seal firmly. 3. Finely chop remaining shallots using Food Chopper. Spray (12-in.) Skillet with olive oil. Add remaining shallots and remaining garlic pressed with Garlic Press; cook and stir over medium heat 60-90 seconds or until fragrant. Stir in wine; cook 1 minute. Add remaining 1½ cups stock, tomatoes and sugar; cook, covered, 3-4 minutes or until tomatoes begin to burst. Crush tomatoes with Chopper. Stir in remaining mascarpone and black pepper. Add ravioli to Skillet; cook, covered, 3-4 minutes or until tender, gently swirling Skillet to coat ravioli with sauce. Garnish with additional Parmesan and basil, if desired. Serve immediately.

POTATO AND CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in large saucepan of boiling salted water until very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Return potatoes to pan and mash. Cool potatoes. Stir in 1 cup cheese and mint. Season filling to taste with salt and pepper.
• Line 2 baking sheets with plastic wrap; sprinkle with flour. Stack 6 wonton wrappers on work surface. Trim edges of wonton stack to form 2 3/4-inch square, preferably using scallop-edged pastry wheel cutter. Repeat stacking and trimming with remaining wrappers. Place half of wrappers on work surface. Place 1 tablespoon filling in center of each. Brush edges of wrappers lightly with water. Top each with another wrapper; press on edges to seal well. Place ravioli on prepared baking sheets. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Sprinkle lightly with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and chill.)
• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and sauté until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to large shallow serving bowl.
• Working in batches, cook ravioli in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer ravioli to bowl with sauce. Spoon remaining sauce over. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese and serve.

CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• 1 Mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, egg, 1/2 cup of the Parmigiano, the parsley, and the salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate. 2 Prepare the sauce and pasta. Dust 2 or 3 large baking sheets with flour. Set out a small bowl filled with cool water. 3 Lay a strip of the dough on a lightly floured surface. Fold it lengthwise in half to mark the center, then unfold it. Beginning about 1 inch from one of the short ends, place teaspoonfuls of the filling about 1 inch apart in a straight row down one side of the fold. Lightly brush around the filling with the cool water. Fold the dough over the side with filling. Press out any air bubbles and seal the edges. Use a fluted pastry wheel or a sharp knife to cut between the dough-covered mounds of filling. Separate the ravioli and press the edges firmly with the back of a fork to seal. Place the ravioli in a single layer on a baking sheet. 4 Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Cover with a towel and refrigerate until ready to cook, or up to 3 hours, turning the pieces several times so that they do not stick to the pan. (To store them longer, freeze the ravioli on the baking sheets until firm. Place them in a heavy-duty plastic bag and seal tightly. Store in the freezer up to one month. Do not thaw before cooking.) 5 Just before serving, bring about 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Meanwhile, in a medium pot, heat the sauce over low heat. Pour some of the sauce into a heated serving bowl. 6 Lower the heat under the pasta pot so that the water boils gently. Add the ravioli and cook until tender, 2 to 5 minutes depending on the thickness of the ravioli and whether or not they were frozen. Scoop the ravioli out of the pot with a slotted spoon. Drain well. 7 Place the ravioli in the serving bowl. Pour on the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and serve immediately. From "1,000 Italian Recipes."
