I started making homemade pasta years ago and although it may be time consuming, nothing beats the taste!

HOMEMADE RAVIOLI

• 5 to 5-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 6 large eggs

• 1/2 cup water

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

sauce:

• 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes

• 1-1/2 cups tomato puree

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/3 cup water

• 1/3 cup tomato paste

• 3 tablespoons sugar

• 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil

• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

• 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

filling:

• 1 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese

• 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 large egg, lightly beaten

• 2 teaspoons minced fresh basil

• 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley

• 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/8 teaspoon salt

• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

1. Place 5 cups flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Beat the eggs, water and oil; pour into well. Stir together, forming a ball. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 4-6 minutes, adding remaining flour if necessary to keep dough from sticking. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven, combine sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

3. In a large bowl, combine filling ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

4. Divide pasta dough into fourths; roll 1 portion to 1/16-in. thickness. (Keep pasta covered until ready to use.) Working quickly, place rounded teaspoons of filling 1 in. apart over half of pasta sheet. Fold sheet over; press down to seal. Cut into squares with a pastry wheel. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

5. Bring a soup kettle of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer; cook until ravioli float to the top and are tender, 1-2 minutes. Drain. Spoon sauce over ravioli.
