Pasta

1. Tip the flour onto a work surface to make a heap.
2. Break the eggs into the flour, season with salt and mix to get a thick, smooth dough.
3. Moisten with a little water if necessary.
4. Roll out with a rolling pin into a thin sheet and cover with a tea towel and leave to stand for 1 hour.
5. Now divide the pasta dough into 2 equal halves.
6. On one half, place little heaps of filling about 5 – 6 cm from each other.
7. Cover with the other half of dough and press firmly round the heaps of filling.
8. Cut into ravioli using a pasta cutter wheel, and leave them on the floured surface.
9. Now make the sauce.

Sauce

1. Put the clams and mussels into a pan without water.
2. Cover the pan and let the shells open over a high heat (it will take about 5 minutes).
3. Remove the shellfish from their shells (throw away any that have not opened) and chop them finely.
4. Finely chop the garlic and fry it gently on a low-medium heat for 3 – 4 minutes in a pan with the oil.
5. Add the shellfish, raise the heat slightly, pour in the wine and let it evaporate.
6. Peel the tomato, remove the seeds, chop and then add to the pan.
7. Sprinkle over the parsley and stir.
8. Season with salt and pepper and after 1 minute remove from the heat.
9. Cook the ravioli in plenty of salted water, then drain and tip onto a serving plate.
10. Coat them with the sauce and serve piping hot.
