Ravioli Recipe

Ravioli Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Make the Filling

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

3. 3

   Roll Out the Dough

   Divide the dough into quarters. Roll out one piece into a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick. Keep the remaining dough covered.

4. 4

   Fill the Ravioli

   Place small spoonfuls of filling on one side of the rolled-out dough. Fold the dough over the filling and press to seal. Cut out individual ravioli with a knife or pasta cutter.

5. 5

   Cook the Ravioli

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

6. 6

   Prepare the Tomato Sauce

   In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Stir in fresh basil before serving.

7. 7

   Serve

   Plate the cooked ravioli and top with tomato sauce. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
