Pasta and Filling
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Make the Pasta Dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into the well. Using a fork, gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out one piece into a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick. Keep the rest of the dough covered to prevent drying out.

Form the Raviolis
Cut the rolled dough into 2-inch squares. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Brush the edges with water, fold over to create a triangle, and press to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.

Cook the Raviolis
