Cherry Tomato and Ricotta Ravioli

Let’s transform those cherry tomatoes into pillowy pasta perfection. This ravioli brings summer sweetness and creamy ricotta together in one irresistible bite. Ready to roll some dough?

Instructions

1. Create a flour well on your clean counter surface.
2. Crack 3 eggs directly into the center of the flour well.
3. Use a fork to gradually incorporate flour into the eggs for 3 minutes until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Knead the dough by hand for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
6. Halve cherry tomatoes while the dough rests.
7. Mince 2 garlic cloves finely.
8. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat for 1 minute.
9. Add tomatoes and garlic to the hot oil.
10. Cook tomatoes for 6-8 minutes until they burst and release juices.
11. Season tomato mixture with 1 teaspoon sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
12. Combine 1 cup ricotta and 1/4 cup Parmesan in a mixing bowl.
13. Chop basil leaves and fold into cheese mixture.
14. Divide rested dough into 4 equal portions.
