Create delicious homemade ravioli with a classic cheese filling from scratch. The ravioli dough is simple to make and pairs perfectly with the rich and comforting cheese filling.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt.
2
Attach the dough hook to the mixer and turn it on to low, then gradually add 4 eggs, one at a time, until fully combined.
3
Continue to mix on low speed, slowly adding 2 tablespoons of olive oil, until a shaggy dough ball forms.
4
Lightly flour a work surface and transfer the dough onto it, kneading the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and stretchy.
5
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
6
To make the cheese filling, mix 1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
7
Once the dough has rested, roll it out thinly using a rolling pin or pasta machine.
8
Place generous dollops of the cheese filling on one sheet of rolled dough, then brush the egg wash (1 egg yolk mixed with 1 teaspoon water) around the filling.
9
Cover the filling with another sheet of dough and press firmly around each mound of filling to seal.
10
Cut out individual ravioli using a ravioli cutter or knife, then transfer them to a floured sheet pan.
11
Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 1 tablespoon of salt.
12
Carefully add the ravioli and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
13
Remove cooked ravioli with a slotted spoon, plate, and serve with your favorite sauce.
