Instructions
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs using a fork until a dough begins to form.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Roll Out the Dough
Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out one piece at a time into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin, keeping the rest covered to prevent drying.
Fill the Ravioli
Place a teaspoon of filling about 1 inch apart on one sheet of dough. Brush around the filling with water. Place another sheet of dough on top and press down to seal around the filling.
Cut the Ravioli
Using a knife or a ravioli cutter, cut out the ravioli. Ensure they are well sealed, and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
Cook the Ravioli
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.
