Ingredients

1 1/4 cups water, for pasta dough
2 pounds all-purpose flour
2 pounds ricotta
5 ounces Parmesan
2 whole eggs
2 ounces marjoram leaves*
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
14 ounces canned peeled tomatoes
3 tablespoons chopped basil leaves
1-ounce butter

For the pasta dough:

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Create a pile of flour and make a well in the center. Pour boiling water into the well. Using a fork, gradually combine the flour and water, proceeding to knead for about 5 minutes. Let dough rest while preparing stuffing.

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, eggs, and marjoram.

Using a rolling pin, roll out the pasta dough until very thin. Cut in half, yielding 2 large pieces of pasta dough. Set 1 piece of rolled pasta to the side. Place the ravioli filling throughout the sheet, each piece of ravioli should measure one inch apart. Cover with reserved pasta dough, press edges together with a fork, and cut each ravioli. In a large saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook (ravioli will float when done).

For the sauce:

In a medium saucepan, saute garlic in olive oil until golden brown. Add the tomatoes and cook for 20 minutes. Once cooked, add the basil, butter and salt. Stir until ingredients are combined.

*Cook's Note: If fresh marjoram is not available, substitute with fresh oregano.

a great ravioli dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved this dish...fairly easy to make. This was my first attempt at making any recipe for ravioli and the only issue was... weighing the flour...(I'd prefer a cup measurement). thanks for this recipe. It's now in my collection.Read more

Fantastic simple pasta dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Although this isn't Giada's recipe, it is exactly what I love about her cooking. Homemade pasta is unbeatable and this dish... is so fresh and actually light. I made mine a bit too large - be careful to only use a small bit of filling like Giada did on the episode.Read more
