Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups Ricotta cheese (curdled and drained)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Make a well in flour with salt. Crack eggs into center and stir until combined
  • Knead dough with olive oil until smooth (5-7 minutes). Rest for 30 minutes
  • Combine ricotta, Parmesan, nutmeg, egg yolks, and parsley for filling
  • Roll dough thinly using a pasta roller or by hand into sheets
  • Cut or lay filling shapes on dough. Fold dough over filling, sealing edges
  • Cook 3-4 minutes in boiling salted water until floats. Serve with sauce

Notes

Use a small cookie scoop for uniform filling portions
Resting dough is crucial for preventing tears
If sauce sticks to filling, add 1 tsp flour per 250g ricotta
Sealed ravioli can be frozen for 2-3 months in a single layer
