Method
Making the Ravioli Dough
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Using a fork, beat the eggs gently, gradually incorporating the flour until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Turn 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 30 minutes.

Combine the Filling Ingredients

After the dough has rested, divide it into four pieces. Roll out each piece using a pasta machine or a rolling pin until thin.
