• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup tomato sauce

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs. Mix until a dough starts to form.

2. 2

   Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let it rest for 30 minutes.

3. 3

   In another bowl, mix the ricotta, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and olive oil until well combined. This will be your filling.

4. 4

   Roll out the rested dough into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Cut into squares about 3 inches wide.

5. 5

   Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold over and press the edges to seal, ensuring no air is trapped inside.

6. 6

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

7. 7

   Serve the ravioli with warm tomato sauce and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese.

8. 8

   Enjoy your freshly made ravioli with a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
