Ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Olive oil
- 1 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg yolk
- Fresh herbs (such as basil or parsley), chopped
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Your favorite pasta sauce
- Additional Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions:
- On a clean surface, create a mound with the flour. Make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and sprinkle the salt over the top. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine the ricotta, grated Parmesan, egg yolk, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Divide the pasta dough into manageable portions and roll each portion into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin. Place teaspoon-sized portions of the filling on one sheet of pasta, leaving space between each mound.
- Brush the edges of the pasta sheet with water and place another sheet on top, pressing around each mound to seal the ravioli. Use a pasta cutter or a knife to cut the ravioli into individual pieces.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain the ravioli and serve with your favorite pasta sauce. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese.
