Dough Preparation

Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs. Using a fork, gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough starts to form.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Mix the Filling

Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the rested dough until it is thin enough to see your hand through it (about 1/16 inch thick). Cut the dough into squares, approximately 2-inch by 2-inch.

Fill the Ravioli
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Moisten the edges of the square with water, fold over to create a triangle, and press to seal the edges firmly. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
