Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 1 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried parsley
- 1/2 cup of marinara sauce
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Create a well in the center and add 2 large eggs and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, then cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of ricotta cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon of dried parsley.
- Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets and place small spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto one sheet, leaving space between each spoonful. Place another sheet of pasta on top and press around the filling to seal. Use a ravioli cutter or knife to cut the ravioli into individual pieces.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
- In a small saucepan, heat the marinara sauce over low heat. Serve the ravioli with the warm marinara sauce and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy!
