Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup spinach, chopped and cooked
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Instructions
In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs and water into it. Mix the ingredients until they form a dough.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
While the dough rests, prepare the ravioli filling. In a bowl, mix ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, cooked spinach, and basil until well combined. Set this aside.
To make the tomato sauce, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Once the dough has rested, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/16 inch thickness. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares.
Place a teaspoon of the filling onto half of the squares, then top with the remaining squares, pressing edges with a fork to seal the ravioli.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli in batches and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
Remove ravioli with a slotted spoon and place on a serving plate.
Pour the sugar-free tomato sauce over the ravioli and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade sugar-free ravioli with tomato sauce.
