Does a ravioli press need a pasta machine too?

Most trays work best with thin, even sheets, which are easier to get with a pasta roller. A rolling pin can work with some practice.

How do you keep ravioli from sticking to the tray?

Dusting the tray and dough with flour or semolina before pressing usually helps. Letting the dough dry slightly for a few minutes can also make release easier.
