Ravioli Dough

Filling

Tomato-Basil Sauce

Method

Ravioli Dough

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs using a fork until a dough begins to form.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

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

Filling

  1. 3

    Mix the Filling

    In a bowl, combine ground veal, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg yolk, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Tomato-Basil Sauce

  1. 4

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 5

    Add Tomatoes and Basil

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Assembly and Cooking

  1. 6

    Roll Out Dough

    After the dough has rested, divide it into quarters. Roll out one piece into a thin sheet using a pasta machine or rolling pin, keeping the remaining dough covered.

  2. 7

    Fill the Ravioli

    Place small mounds of the filling (about 1 tsp each) along one half of the rolled-out dough. Fold the other half over and press down around the filling to seal. Cut into individual ravioli using a knife or pasta cutter.

  3. 8

    Cook the Ravioli

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

  4. 9

    Serve

    Plate the cooked ravioli and spoon the tomato-basil sauce over the top. Garnish with additional basil and Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
