Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions

In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead until smooth (about 5 minutes).
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
In another bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/16 inch thick. Cut into squares.
Place small mounds of filling onto one half of each square. Brush edges with water, fold over, and seal tightly.
Boil salted water and add ravioli. Cook until they float (about 3-5 minutes). Serve drizzled with olive oil.
