Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Basil, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (extra for garnish)
• 4 small leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt to make the pasta dough. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Add water and mix gradually incorporating the flour until a dough forms.

Step 2

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

To make the filling, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan, chopped basil, chopped parsley, minced garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Stir until well mixed and creamy. Set aside in the fridge.

Step 4

Once the dough has rested, divide it into two portions. Roll out each portion into a thin sheet using a rolling pin or pasta machine. Aim for a thickness of about 1/16 inch.

Step 5

On one sheet of rolled dough, place small dollops of filling (about 1 teaspoon each) at 2-inch intervals. Brush water around each dollop to act as glue. Cover with the second sheet of dough and press down gently, sealing the edges around the filling.

Step 6

Use a pastry cutter or ravioli stamp to cut out individual ravioli. Press the edges firmly to ensure they are sealed. Dust the ravioli with a little flour to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the ravioli in batches and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 8

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the tomato sauce and olive oil, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes for flavors to meld.

Step 9

Gently toss the cooked ravioli in the sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 10

Serve the Rav N Ravioli hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and optional fresh basil leaves. Enjoy your delicious homemade creation!
