place in to ravioli shapes , seal edges with water and cook in a pot of boiling salted water for about 4 minutes and then drain.

in a nonstick hot pan fry off chopped bacon add white wine and let reduce slightly , add cream and let reduce down till

thick, add drained pasta to sauce and toss so that pasta is covered in sauce , serve immediatly garnished with chopped parsely

this amount of mix made 1 serving I had plenty of pasta dough left over for other things
