Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 cup Unsalted beef broth
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 Onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

To make the pasta dough, place the all-purpose flour in a mound on a clean surface, and make a well in the center.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into the well, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs using a fork.

Step 3

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough is resting, prepare the beef filling. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula.

Step 7

Stir in the unsalted beef broth, black pepper, oregano, and basil. Cook until the liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and let the filling cool. Optionally, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 9

Divide the rested pasta dough into four equal pieces and flatten each piece slightly.

Step 10

Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll each piece into thin sheets, about 1/16 inch thick.

Step 11

Place small spoonfuls of the beef filling on one sheet of pasta, spacing them out evenly.

Step 12

Brush the edges and spaces between the filling with water.

Step 13

Carefully place another sheet of pasta over the first, pressing down around the filling to seal and removing any air pockets.

Step 14

Use a ravioli cutter or sharp knife to cut out individual ravioli.

Step 15

Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil and cook the ravioli for 3–4 minutes, or until they float to the top.

Step 16

Drain the ravioli carefully and serve with your favorite low sodium sauce or a drizzle of olive oil.
