Hand-made Ravioli Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Make the Filling

   In a bowl, mix together ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg yolk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

3. 3

   Roll Out the Dough

   Divide the dough into four portions. Roll out one portion on a floured surface until thin (about 1/16 inch thick).

4. 4

   Fill the Ravioli

   Place small spoonfuls of filling about 1 inch apart on one half of the rolled-out dough. Fold the other half over and press down to seal, ensuring to remove any air pockets. Use a pasta cutter to cut into individual ravioli.

5. 5

   Cook the Ravioli

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

6. 6

   Prepare the Pesto Sauce

   In a food processor, combine basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan, and salt. Blend while slowly adding olive oil until smooth.

7. 7

   Serve

   Toss the cooked ravioli with the basil pesto sauce and serve warm.
