Ingredients:
For the Homemade Cheese ravioli:
- 1 package of fresh or frozen ravioli (choose your favorite filling)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the tomato sauce:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions:
- To begin with, prepare the Homemade Cheese ravioli: If using frozen ravioli, follow the package instructions to cook them. If using fresh ravioli, you can boil them in a large pot of salted water until they float to the top, usually for about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Next, let’s assemble the ravioli: Lay out one layer of ravioli on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the ricotta mixture onto each ravioli. Place another ravioli on top, pressing the edges to seal them together. Repeat with the remaining ravioli and filling.
- Moving on, let’s make the tomato sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the dried basil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well and let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- While the sauce simmers, cook the ravioli: In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the assembled ravioli until they float to the top. This should take around 3-5 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them directly into the tomato sauce.
- Gently toss the ravioli in the tomato sauce, coating them evenly. Let them simmer together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
- Lastly, serve: Plate the ravioli with ricotta cheese and tomato sauce on a serving dish. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
In conclusion, enjoy your delicious Homemade Cheese ravioli with and tomato sauce! It’s a comforting and satisfying meal that’s perfect for any occasion.
