Ravioli Di Ricotta Recipe

Ravioli Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, crack the egg into the well, and gradually incorporate the flour until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Set aside.

3. 3

   Roll Out the Dough

   After resting, divide the dough into quarters. Roll out one piece at a time on a floured surface until very thin, about 1/16 inch thick.

4. 4

   Form the Ravioli

   Place small spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture on one half of the rolled-out dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press down around each mound to seal. Cut out the ravioli using a knife or a pasta cutter.

5. 5

   Cook the Ravioli

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the ravioli and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

6. 6

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Combine and Serve

   Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and gently toss to coat. Serve hot with additional Parmesan cheese on top.
