step-by-step guide to homemade ravioli! Filled with creamy cheese and fresh herbs, it's a gourmet meal made right in your kitchen. 🍝🌿
Ingredients:
For the pasta dough:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
For the filling:
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as basil, parsley, and thyme)
Salt and black pepper to taste
For serving:
Your choice of pasta sauce
Additional grated Parmesan cheese
Directions:
For the pasta dough, mound the flour and salt on a clean surface and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and add the olive oil. Gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs and oil, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
For the filling, mix together ricotta, Parmesan, beaten egg, herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
Divide the rested dough into four pieces. Working with one piece at a time (keeping others covered), roll out on a floured surface into a thin sheet.
Drop teaspoons of filling about 1 inch apart over half of the pasta sheet. Fold the other half over the filling. Press around each mound of filling to seal, then cut between the mounds with a pastry cutter or knife to form individual ravioli.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches until they float to the top, about 4 minutes.
Serve hot with your choice of pasta sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
