Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes, canned
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack the eggs into it. Gently whisk the eggs with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour until a dough forms.

Step 2

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, parsley, minced garlic, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 4

For the Sockarooni sauce, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, sugar, and salt to taste. Simmer the sauce on low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

On a floured surface, divide the rested dough into two portions. Roll out each portion into a thin sheet. Spoon small amounts of the cheese mixture (about 1 teaspoon each) onto one sheet of dough, leaving space between each mound.

Step 7

Place the second sheet of dough over the first, pressing around each mound to seal. Use a ravioli cutter or knife to cut out ravioli squares. Ensure edges are sealed by pressing with a fork if needed.

Step 8

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 9

Stir 1 tablespoon of butter into the Sockarooni sauce to add richness. Serve the cooked ravioli topped with the warm sauce. Garnish with extra grated Parmesan and fresh basil, if desired.
