Now we are ready to make the ravioli!

Place pastry on a ravioli press and add lobster filling. Cover with layer of pastry. Lightly wet border around ravioli so both layers of pastry with stick together and will not open during cooking. Place tomatoes in a pot and add anchovies. Cook for a few minutes until anchovies are amalgamated. In the meantime, boil salted water and add ravioli. When they float, they are cooked. Strain ravioli and add to tomatos sauce. Add some extra virgin olive oil.
