Ravioli

Method

Ravioli Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into the well. Using a fork, beat the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour until a dough begins to form.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper until well combined.

  4. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until thin (about 1/16-inch thick).

  5. 5

    Form the Ravioli

    Place a teaspoon of filling about 1 inch apart on one sheet of pasta. Moisten the edges with water, then top with another sheet of pasta. Press down to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.

  6. 6

    Cut the Ravioli

    Use a knife or a pasta cutter to cut the ravioli into squares. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Marinara Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  2. 8

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

  3. 9

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

  4. 10

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves just before serving.

Cooking the Ravioli

  1. 11

    Boil Water

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  2. 12

    Cook the Ravioli

    Gently add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove them with a slotted spoon.

  3. 13

    Serve

    Place the cooked ravioli on plates and top with the marinara sauce. Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.
