Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Mix the Filling

    In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped spinach, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined. Set aside.

Make the Dough

  1. 2

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Mix until the dough begins to come together.

  2. 3

    Knead the Dough

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

Assemble the Ravioli

  1. 4

    Roll out the Dough

    After resting, divide the dough into quarters. Roll out one quarter at a time on a floured surface until it is thin (about 1/16 inch thick).

  2. 5

    Fill the Ravioli

    Place small mounds of the filling (about 1 tablespoon) on one half of the rolled-out dough, leaving space between each mound. Fold the other half over the filled half and press down to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.

  3. 6

    Cut the Ravioli

    Use a knife or a pasta cutter to cut between the mounds to form individual ravioli. Press the edges with a fork to ensure they are sealed.

Fry the Ravioli

  1. 7

    Prepare for Frying

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 8

    Coat the Ravioli

    Dip each ravioli in the beaten egg and then coat it with breadcrumbs.

  3. 9

    Fry the Ravioli

    Carefully place the coated ravioli in the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve

  1. 10

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the fried ravioli hot with marinara sauce on the side for dipping, and garnish with chopped fresh basil.
