Ingredients:

For the pasta dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the filling:

1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the sauce:

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions:

Prepare the Dough: On a clean work surface, mound the flour and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add the olive oil and salt. Gradually mix the eggs and flour with a fork until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, egg yolk, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended. Set aside.

Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into four pieces. Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll out each piece into thin sheets. If using a machine, roll to the second-thinnest setting.

Assemble the Ravioli: Place teaspoonfuls of filling about 1 inch apart on one sheet of pasta. Brush the edges and spaces between the filling with water. Place another sheet of pasta on top, pressing down around the mounds of filling to seal. Cut into squares with a knife or a ravioli cutter.

Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce: In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the crushed tomatoes, dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine and Serve: Add the cooked ravioli to the sauce, gently tossing to coat. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil or parsley.

Enjoy your delicious homemade ravioli, and savor the rich flavors of this classic Italian dish!
