Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a lightly 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 Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, fresh basil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Ravioli Assembly

  1. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

    Divide the rested dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Aim for about 1/16 inch thickness.

  2. 5

    Fill the Ravioli

    Place small mounds (about 1 teaspoon) of the cheese filling onto one sheet of rolled-out dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Moisten the edges of the dough with water.

  3. 6

    Seal the Ravioli

    Carefully place another sheet of dough over the filling and press down around each mound to seal. Use a ravioli cutter or knife to cut out individual raviolis.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Sauce

    In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, salt, and black pepper, and let simmer for 15 minutes.

  2. 8

    Finish the Sauce

    Add fresh basil to the sauce and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cooking the Ravioli

  1. 9

    Cook the Ravioli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the ravioli and place them on a serving plate. Top with the prepared sauce and additional basil if desired.
