Ingredients

  • 2 cups ricotta
  • 2.5 cups grated mozzarella
  • 1 cup grated parm
  • 1/2 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup chopped basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • tomato sauce
  • fresh pasta

Instructions

  • Mix the cheeses in a large bowl with a few tablespoons of olive oil. Remove half of the cheese mix and place it in a smaller bowl. Mix the herbs into the cheese mix in the large bowl.
  • Roll out the pasta dough as instructed in the link above. Make your first ravioli small using the herb mixture as the filling. Boil for 4 minutes until tender.
  • Place some of the plain cheese mixture onto a sheet of pasta and press it to make it thin. Put the cooked ravioli on top. Press more cheese around it to conceal, but keep it very thin so you dont end up with huge ravioli right off the bat.
  • Wrap the pasta around the cheese to form the 2nd layer ravioli. Boil this and repeat until you reach the 4th layer alternating the filling mixture along the way.
  • Finally boil your huge ravioli and toss it into the tomato sauce right away. Let it simmer in the sauce for a few minutes so the inside is able to heat through. Serve with extra sauce.
