I want to try to make my own pasta somewhere in the near future - have found some promising recipes for the dough. One dilemma though - if I want to make a filled pasta, I've only ever seen it done using egg wash to seal the edges. Any one have any ideas or know of what I could use instead.
Anything soy protein based is out too - I don't know how you would use it to seal, but I have seen some dough recipes that use it, so wanted to put that out there.

Plain water, pressure and a few minutes to SIT before cooking is what we've found works the best.
We also make tortellini rather than ravioli (greater overlap means better sealing without egg) and instead of turnover/pie-style potstickers, we make 'dumpling' style ones gathered at the tops.
DD loves potstickers AND tortellini.

Wondered if plain water would work, but wasn't able to find anything online to support it - glad to hear from someone with experience.
Found a recipe that uses butternut squash puree instead of eggs - excited to try it now.
Thanks!
