Homemade Ravioli

Ingredients

• Basil - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Tomato sauce - 2 cups
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Parmesan cheese - 1/2 cup, grated
• Spinach - 1 cup, cooked and chopped
• Ricotta cheese - 1 cup
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Eggs - 3 large
• All - purpose flour - 2 cups

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, spinach, Parmesan cheese, and garlic.
4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is thin enough to see through. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares.
5. Place a small spoonful of the ricotta mixture in the center of each square. Fold the square in half to form a triangle, then press the edges together to seal.
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
7. In a separate pot, heat the tomato sauce over medium heat. Add the basil and stir to combine.
8. Serve the ravioli with the tomato sauce on top.
