Ravioli Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolk, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

3. 3

   Roll Out the Dough

   Divide the rested dough into four equal parts. Roll out each part into thin sheets (about 1/16 inch thick) using a pasta machine or a rolling pin.

4. 4

   Fill the Ravioli

   On one sheet of dough, place a teaspoon of filling about 1 inch apart. Brush the edges with water and cover with another sheet of dough. Press to seal. Cut into squares or circles with a pasta cutter.

5. 5

   Cook the Ravioli

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

6. 6

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until fragrant. Toss the cooked ravioli in the butter sage sauce.

7. 7

   Serve

   Plate the ravioli and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
