First make your Pasta, Rolling it out as thinly as you can - for a really delicate ravioli.

Then cut out discs of around 9cms./3.5" in diameter. We use the bottom of a drinking glass which just happens to be exactly right. Make about 24 for four people.

Then the Prawns - uncooked, of course. About six per person.

Ravioli Recipe Method

Lay the pasta discs on a flat surface and place a curled Prawn on each one.
Lay a sliver of garlic - a sprinkle of chilli flakes and a sprinkle of parsley on each Prawn.
Top with a squeeze of lemon juice and a little Salt.
Brush a little water around the edge of each disc.
Fold over the prawn on each disc making sure that the two edges are properly sealed to make semi-circular Ravioli. Just give the edges, all the way round, a gentle squeeze.
Meanwhile make the sauce - gently cook the shallots in the oil until soft and then add the chopped tomato, basil, salt and pepper to taste.
Stir for one minute and remove from the heat.
Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water for 2-3 minutes - depending on the thickness.
Drain and arrange in warm pasta bowls.
Spoon over the sauce and serve straight away.
