Goat Cheese and Sun Dried Tomato Ravioli with Tomato Sauce

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour the water. Mix with your hands until it forms a solid ball. Add more water/flour if needed.

Step 2

Transfer to a well floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes. Cover with a plastic wrap or kitchen towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes. If using a standing mixer with a dough hook there’s no need to knead with hands.

Step 3

Meanwhile, mix softened goat cheese with sun dried tomatoes, basil, salt and black pepper.

Step 4

To make the ravioli, you can use this  ravioli maker following the instructions, knife or pizza cutter. Divide the dough in 4 equal parts. Roll the dough into thin sheets. Place about 1 1/2 tsp of filling one inch apart over half the pasta sheet (12 in total). Cover the filling with another sheet of pasta and press firmly around the filling to seal. Cut into individual ravioli with a knife or pizza cutter. Seal the edges.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, warm up marinara sauce. Cook the ravioli in batches about 2-3 minutes or until they float. Drain and add toss ravioli with the sauce. Divide between plates and serve with fresh basil
