Method

Ravioli Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In another bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Roll Out the Dough

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

  5. 5

    Fill the Ravioli

    Place small spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto one sheet of pasta, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Moisten the edges with water, then fold the pasta over and press to seal.

Breading and Cooking

  1. 6

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Bread the Ravioli

    Dip each ravioli into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are fully covered.

  3. 8

    Fry the Ravioli

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the ravioli in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Marinara Sauce

  1. 9

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 10

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Add crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 11

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in fresh basil just before serving.
