Directions
For the dough
Mix rice flour and eggs in a bowl. Form a ball, wrap tightly with plastic, and rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough in half, and roll out each dough into thin rectangle sheets of the same size, about the thickness of a coin. Cover the sheets and set aside.
For the sauce
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onions and garlic. When onions are soft, add the meat. When cooked thoroughly, add tomatoes, bay leaf, and water. Season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix rice flour with water. Stir the flour mixture into the sauce and continue to simmer.
For the filling
Boil water in a large pot.
In a bowl, peel and mash avocados until pasty. Add lemon juice, cottage cheese, and parmesan cheese. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
On a sheet of dough, drop a spoonful of filling, about 1 inch apart. Cover the fillings with another dough sheet. Gently press and cut into individual ravioli pieces with a knife. Carefully press the air out of each ravioli and seal the edges with a folk. Boil for 7-8 minutes.
When boiled, drain and transfer to plates. Pour the sauce and garnish with toppings. Serve.
