Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vegetarian 'beef' crumbles
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 fresh basil leaves, optional for garnish
• 2 cups pasta sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, place the flour and make a well in the center. Add in 3 eggs, olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Using a fork, beat the liquids gently, then gradually incorporate the flour starting from the inside part of the well. Continue until the dough starts to come together.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the vegetarian 'beef' crumbles, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, parsley, pepper, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until well combined.

Step 6

Divide the rested dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin.

Step 7

Place small amounts (about a teaspoon) of filling evenly spaced on one of the dough sheets, leaving sufficient space for sealing.

Step 8

Lightly beat the remaining egg and brush it around the filling to help seal the edges.

Step 9

Carefully place another sheet of dough over the filled sheet. Press down around each mound to seal in the filling, ensuring no air is trapped.

Step 10

Cut into individual ravioli using a knife or a ravioli cutter, and press the edges firmly to ensure they are well sealed.

Step 11

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface.

Step 12

Gently remove with a slotted spoon and serve with warmed pasta sauce, garnishing with fresh basil leaves if desired.
