Homemade Ravioli Recipe

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Gradually incorporate the flour into the egg mixture until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Prepare the Filling

   In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolk, spinach, salt, and pepper until well combined.

4. 4

   Roll Out the Dough

   Divide the dough into quarters. Roll out each quarter into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin.

5. 5

   Fill the Ravioli

   Place small spoonfuls of the filling on one sheet of dough, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Moisten the edges with water and cover with another sheet of dough. Press to seal and cut into squares.

6. 6

   Cook the Ravioli

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook for 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

   Make the Sauce

   In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in fresh basil and grated Parmesan.

8. 8
