Fold the long side of the dough over the filling extending it about 1 inch past the filling. Using index and thumb of both hands, pinch the dough on either side of the filling sealing the dough and creating pillow shapes. Remove as much air as possible in the process. With a pasta cutter, trim the long side of the dough about ½ inch from the mounds of filling. Cut between each mound, creating the individual pieces of pasta.
