Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 cups Marinara sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add 2 eggs and olive oil.

Step 2

Mix the flour and eggs with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour into the liquid to form a dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling by combining ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, parsley, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Cut the rested dough in half. Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or pasta machine until thin (about 1/16 inch).

Step 6

Spoon small portions (about 1 teaspoon each) of the cheese filling onto the rolled-out dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Brush the edges of the dough with water. Place the second sheet of rolled-out dough on top and press around the filling to seal.

Step 8

Use a ravioli cutter or knife to cut into individual ravioli. Press the edges with a fork to ensure they are fully sealed.

Step 9

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.

Step 10

Serve the cooked ravioli with marinara sauce, garnishing with additional Parmesan or parsley if desired.
