How to make it

  • Pasta Dough
  • Pulse the flour in a food processor to break up clumps so that the flour evenly absorbs the eggs.
  • Add the eggs and process until a rough dough forms, about 30 seconds.
  • If the dough resembles small pebbles, the dough is too dry; add water, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, and process until the dough forms a rough ball. If the dough sticks to the sides of the workbowl, the dough is too wet; add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, and process until the dough forms a rough ball.
  • Finish kneading the dough (and any stray bits) by hand. Turn the dough ball and small bits out onto a dry work surface. Knead by hand until the dough is smooth and elastic,1 to 2 minutes.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and set it aside for at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours to allow the gluten in the dough to relax
  • Pasta Sauce
  • Over medium heat, heat oil in a saucepan until hot.
  • Add all ingredients except basil and cheese.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat and allow to simmer for 45 minutes with the lid opened slightly.
  • Stir the basil and parmesan into the sauce and season with salt and pepper.
  • For a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender.
  • For Ravioli, you will need to blend the sauce until smooth
  • Filling
  • Remove sausage from casings and brown in saute pan
  • Add seasonings while browning the meat
  • Drain excess grease from meat and cool
  • Once the meat is cool, add it to food processor along with ricotta cheese and pulse to break up meat and blend.
