Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and eggs. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
-
Roll out the pasta dough on a floured surface until it's thin but not transparent. Cut out small circles or squares, depending on your preferred ravioli shape.
-
Place a small spoonful of the spinach and ricotta filling in the center of each pasta piece. Fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges with a fork to create the ravioli shapes.
-
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the ravioli in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
-
To make the marinara sauce, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
-
Stir in the diced tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
-
Serve the cooked ravioli on a plate, drizzle with marinara sauce, and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Enjoy your homemade Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli with Marinara while it's hot and flavorful!
