How do I seal ravioli?
Chef's answer
Brush the dough and the top of your filling with egg wash and cover them with the second length of dough you trimmed off in the previous step. The egg wash helps the dough stay in place, bonding the two layers. Press around each mound to seal, then press outward toward edges, pushing out any air pockets.
