Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh oregano, finely chopped
- 1 Large egg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, and shredded mozzarella.
Add the chopped parsley, basil, and oregano to the cheese mixture. Stir well to incorporate the herbs evenly.
Crack the large egg into the bowl and mix until it is fully blended with the cheese and herbs. The egg will act as a binder for the filling.
Season the mixture with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Once combined, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the filling to firm up, making it easier to handle when assembling the ravioli.
Use this filling directly in homemade ravioli dough. Place small spoonfuls of the mixture into the dough sheets before sealing.
Cook the ravioli in boiling salted water until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes, and serve with your favorite sauce.
