Homemade Ravioli Recipe

How to Make Homemade Ravioli

1. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 4 large eggs, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
2. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, prepare your filling. In a bowl, combine 1 pound ricotta cheese, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 large egg, salt, and pepper to taste.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough using a rolling pin or pasta machine to your desired thickness. Cut out circles using a 3-inch cookie cutter or a glass.
5. Place a spoonful of the ricotta filling in the center of each circle.
6. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, pressing firmly around the edges to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork to create a decorative seal.
7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
8. Serve immediately with your favorite sauce. We recommend a simple tomato sauce or a browned butter sage sauce.
