Homemade Ravioli with Tomato Sauce
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Make 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, 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg to make the filling.
- Roll out the dough into thin sheets and place small spoonfuls of the cheese filling on one sheet. Place another sheet on top and press around the filling to seal. Use a ravioli cutter or a knife to cut the ravioli into squares.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- In a saucepan, heat 2 cups of tomato sauce over medium heat. Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce and gently toss to coat.
- Serve the ravioli with tomato sauce on plates, sprinkle with chopped fresh basil leaves and grated mozzarella cheese. Enjoy!
