Instructions

1. On the countertop or in a bowl place the flour and salt. Create a crater and add the egg. Begin to mix together and then add the tomato paste. Continue to knead together until everything is combined. If the dough is a little wet add a tablespoon of flour at a time until the right consistency is reached. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes to get a even colour and smooth and silky dough. Warp in plastic wrap and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
2. Repeat step 1 with the other colours of pasta. Use wilted spinach for the green, minced / chopped beetroot for the red and saffron steeped in hot water for the yellow.
3. Once the pasta has been allowed to rest dust the countertop with flour and roll out each colour until fairly thin. Place about a teaspoon of the filling for each piece of ravioli  on to the dough. Brush around the edge and cover with another piece of dough. Press to seal the edges and cut out your ravioli. Once you have prepared all the pasta into ravioli you can cook them in some boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, depending on the size. Drain the cooked ravioli and serve with a pasta sauce of your choice.
4. This Ravioli can be stored for 3-4 days in the fridge uncooked or frozen and then cooked from frozen when required.
