Homemade Ravioli with Pesto

I've been wanting to make my own homemade ravioli for a while, and I finally found a recipe that looked really good, and used whole wheat flour, so I decided to try it out. It was kinda tricky to roll the dough out and make the raviolis, but in the end it turned out really good, and it was a pretty fun challenge I have to say. 
After cooking the raviolis, I stirred them in some basil pesto as a sauce, and fried some chicken and broccoli, and tomato and mushrooms.

Ravioli


Ingredients:

2 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 beaten eggs
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon olive oil


Filling:
1 cup ricotta cheese
Minched garlic
Salt and Pepper

Directions:

Mix flour and salt in a bowl, and put on table, making a little "pit" in the middle. Beat eggs in separate bowl, and pour into the hole in the flour mixture. Add water and oil. 

Stir well with your fingers, until all flour is combined with the eggs. Knead very well. 


Let it sit till the day after. 



Filling:

Minch garlic and combine with cheese and salt and pepper.

Make raviolis by taking a small piece of the dough at a time, and roll on a floured table. Cut in "slices" and put a little piece of the cheese filling on each. Sample the pieces, using a little bit of egg as glue. 


Cook for 15 minutes in boiling water.





Enjoy!
