1 cup ricotta cheese
1 egg
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper, to taste

For filling: In a medium bowl, combine Asadero (or mozzarella or pepper jack cheese), ricotta, egg, Parmesan, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Roll out dough to No. 6 setting on a pasta machine.

To stuff ravioli: Drop spoonfuls of filling at even intervals onto a sheet of dough. Lightly wet the dough around the filling. Press a top sheet of dough onto the bottom one at the wet parts. Cut out ravioli with a knife, pizza wheel or ravioli stamp. Or use a ravioli form according to its directions.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with Roasted Corn and Avocado Sauce.

Makes 4 servings.
