1
Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2
Prepare the Dough
On a clean surface, create a mound of flour and make a well in the center. Add eggs and salt to the well. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3
Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into quarters. Roll out one portion at a time into a thin sheet (about 1/16 inch thick) using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
4
Shape the Ravioli
Cut the rolled-out dough into squares (about 3 inches). Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each square. Moisten the edges with water, fold over, and press to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
5
Cook the Ravioli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon.
6
Serve
Serve hot with your choice of marinara or alfredo sauce, and garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and basil if desired.
