Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 120 milliliters Water
• 250 grams Ground beef
• 1 small Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 large Egg (for egg wash, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt together. Create a well in the center and add olive oil and water. Gradually mix the flour into the liquids until a dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough rests, prepare the filling. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.

Step 4

Add chopped onion and garlic to the meat and continue to cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in tomato paste, parsley, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well and remove from heat. Allow the filling to cool completely.

Step 6

After the dough has rested, cut it into four equal portions. Keep the portions not being used covered to prevent drying out.

Step 7

Roll out one portion of dough on a floured surface into a thin sheet (about 1mm thick).

Step 8

Place small spoonfuls of the meat filling about 5 cm apart on half of the pasta sheet.

Step 9

Lightly moisten the edges and spaces between filling with water, or use an egg wash by whisking one egg and brushing it around the filling.

Step 10

Fold the other half of the pasta sheet over the filling. Press down around the filling to seal, ensuring there is no air around the filling.

Step 11

Use a knife or pasta cutter to cut the ravioli into individual pieces. Press edges with a fork to ensure sealing.

Step 12

Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop ravioli in small batches and cook until they float to the top, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 13

Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with your favorite dairy-free sauce or olive oil and herbs.
