Start by preparing the pasta dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Make a well in the center.
Whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and water. Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients.
Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the wet mixture until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 3-4 minutes until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes.
For the filling, sauté the fresh spinach in a pan until wilted. Let it cool slightly and chop finely.
In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
To make the tomato sauce, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and sugar. Let the sauce simmer for 20 minutes.
Roll out the rested dough into sheets, either with a pasta machine or a rolling pin, until thin (approximately 1/8 inch thick).
Cut the dough into 2-inch squares or circles for ravioli.
Place a teaspoon of filling onto the center of half the dough shapes. Moisten the edges with water, then place another dough shape on top, pressing firmly to seal.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add ravioli, cooking in batches if necessary, for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Remove ravioli with a slotted spoon and drain well.
Serve the hot ravioli with the prepared tomato sauce. Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top, if desired.
