Cut off piece of dough and roll out with flour on board. Cut off another piece of dough and roll out on board. Put meat mixture between dough. Add flour on top of dough so dough won't stick to marker. Mark and cut raviolis. Put on floured table and separate each ravioli. Let stand overnight. When ready to serve, cook in boiling, salted water. Boil 20-45 minutes. Remove from water and place on platter. Put grated cheese on top, then the sauce. First place a layer of raviolis, then cheese, then sauce and so on.
