Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 large Egg whites
• 0.25 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Olive oil
• 8 ounces Lean ground chicken or turkey
• 0.5 cups Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cups Low fat ricotta cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cups Tomato sauce
• 8 leaves Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center.

Step 2

Add egg whites, water, and olive oil into the well and mix with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour until it forms a dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken or turkey with chopped onion and minced garlic until the meat is thoroughly cooked and the onion is soft. About 7-10 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and drain any excess fat from the meat mixture.

Step 6

Mix the cooked meat with ricotta cheese, chopped parsley, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Allow it to cool.

Step 7

Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece into a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick. You can use a pasta machine or a rolling pin.

Step 8

Place small spoonfuls of the meat filling about 1 inch apart on one sheet of pasta. Brush around the filling with water, then cover with another sheet of pasta. Press firmly around each mound to seal and remove any air pockets.

Step 9

Cut the ravioli into pieces using a ravioli cutter or a knife. Ensure the edges are well sealed.

Step 10

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the ravioli and cook for 4-6 minutes or until they float to the top.

Step 11

Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with tomato sauce.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot.
