Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack the eggs into it.

  2. 2

    Mix and Knead

    Using a fork, beat the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour until a dough starts to form. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.

  3. 3

    Rest the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Combine Filling Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, cooked spinach, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Ravioli Assembly

  1. 5

    Roll Out the Dough

    After resting, divide the dough into four equal pieces. Roll out one piece at a time into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin.

  2. 6

    Form Ravioli

    Place small spoonfuls of the filling on one sheet of dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Moisten the edges of the dough with water, then fold the sheet over to create pockets of filling. Press to seal and cut into squares or circles.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, fresh basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Cooking Ravioli

  1. 8

    Cook the Ravioli

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the ravioli and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve

    Plate the cooked ravioli and top with the sauce. Garnish with additional basil and Parmesan cheese if desired.
