Ravioli Dough

Ravioli Filling

Method

Prepare the Ravioli Dough

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Ravioli Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Roll and Fill the Ravioli

  1. 4

    Roll the Dough

    Divide the rested dough into quarters. Roll out one piece at a time on a floured surface until very thin (about 1/16 inch thick).

  2. 5

    Cut and Fill

    Using a round cutter, cut circles from the dough. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of half of the circles. Moisten the edges with water, and top with the remaining circles. Press to seal.

Prepare the Marinara Sauce

  1. 6

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in fresh basil at the end.

Cook the Ravioli

  1. 7

    Boil Water

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

  2. 8

    Cook the Ravioli

    Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Serve the Dish

  1. 9

    Combine and Serve

    In a serving dish, place the cooked ravioli and top with marinara sauce. Garnish with additional parmesan and basil if desired.
