    To make the Pasta:
  • 2
    Place the flour on a clean work surface and create a well. Add the eggs to the well and carefully incorporate into the flour, oil and salt, until dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes, until supple, smooth and shiny. If soft, work in more flour. If too dry, add a tablespoon of water. Once firm, cover with cling film and rest for 20 minutes. On a floured work surface, roll out and cut the pasta dough into very thin, manageable sheets. Cover with a dishcloth.

    Dust a clean work surface with flour. Lay out half of the pasta sheets. Divide the smoked trout filling into approx. 42 equal sized portions (roughly a large teaspoon each) and place each one 5cm apart on the pasta sheets. Brush the pasta with a little cold water between the mounds of trout. Cover with the remaining sheets of pasta, excluding all air. Cut the ravioli out using a pastry wheel. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
