Vegan Cheese Ravioli




Pasta Dough 
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs/egg substitute ( 2 tsp flax seed meal + 6 tsp water )
1/3 cup water

All-purpose flour for rolling out the dough
Mix the Dough.
In a large bowl stir together 1 3/4 cups of the flour and the salt. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. In a small bowl combine egg or egg substitute and the water. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture, stirring to combine. Tip: The dough will be sticky at this point. That's OK; it will become smooth as you knead it and add in the remaining 1/4 flour if needed. Knead the dough. Roll the dough on a floured surface. Cook in a pot of salted boiling water.


These raviolis were filled with one teaspoon of vegan faux cheese. 



Boiling the ravioli in salted water.

1 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 to 2 teaspoons fennel seed, crushed
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine tomato sauce and paste. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
