1. 1We'll start out by making the dough for our ravioli.
2. 2Add to a food processor all of your ravioli ingredients. Run the processor and mix the ingredients up well. If the dough looks like pebbles, it's a touch too dry.
3. 3Add about 1/2-1 tsp of water and mix again. It should form a nice ball of dough. Once your dough is mixed, bring it out of the processor and knead it for a few minutes.
4. 4Cover your ball of pasta dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for a good twenty minutes. While your dough is resting, let's whip up the tasty filling.
5. 5Grab your skillet and heat up the butter on medium heat. Now add in the garlic. Next we'll add in the proscuitto, onions and mushrooms.
6. 6Let it cook up for a minute or two and then add in the salt and oregano. Give it a swirl or two around the pan to mix in and then add in your spinach.
7. 7Let the spinach wilt down completely and then remove the mixture from the heat. Now it's time to grab your well rested pasta dough and pop out some ravioli.
8. 8Rip off about a sixth of the ball and run it through your pasta maker (or hand roll it) to the desired thinness.
9. 9If you have a ravioli cutter you can use that, or you can use a glass to cut circles, or you can do like we did and use a cookie cutter to make fun shapes celebrating the holiday.
10. 10After you have your ravioli cut out, you'll drop a good teaspoonful of the prosciutto mixture into the center of the pasta.
11. 11Brush the edges with an egg wash (the egg white from one egg) and place another pasta piece over the top. Seal the edges with your fingers, a fork, or whatever puts a smile on your face.
12. 12Grab a pot, fill it up with water and set it to boil. The pasta will cook up quick (it will float when cooked).
13. 13Grab another pan, drop the butter into it and cook it on medium until it turns a beautiful golden brown and gives off a lovely nutty smell.
14. 14At this point you'll turn the heat down just a notch and add in your garlic. Now drop in your chopped basil, give it a swirl or two to let the basil wilt and your butter sauce is ready to rumble.
15. 15Drain your cooked up ravioli, dump them in the butter sauce and get them good and coated.
16. 16Serve them up with a little grated Parmesan or Romano over the top.
