In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
Crumble tofu into a separate bowl. Add finely chopped spinach, minced garlic, nutritional yeast, and ground black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface until thin. Cut into 2.5-inch squares using a sharp knife or pasta cutter.
Place 1 teaspoon of the tofu-spinach mixture onto each square. Fold squares into triangles and press edges with a fork to seal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Heat remaining olive oil in a pan. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Pour in crushed tomatoes and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
Stir in fresh basil leaves and simmer for another 2 minutes.
Serve ravioli topped with the tomato sauce, garnished with extra basil if desired.
