Method
Instructions
- 1
Make the Ravioli Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add eggs and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Make the Basil Pesto Sauce
In a food processor, blend basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic, and salt. With the processor running, slowly add olive oil until smooth. Stir in Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning if needed.

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, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.

Fill the Ravioli
Using a tablespoon, place small mounds of cheese filling on one sheet of dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lay another sheet of dough over the top and press down around the filling to seal. Cut out individual ravioli using a knife or ravioli cutter.
