Salt
1 cup of all-purpose flour
4 small eggs or 3 large eggs
1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon of mustard
3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
Dunk the tomatoes in boiling water and let them sit for 1 minute
Drain, spear each tomato with a fork, and remove the skin with a knife
Cut them into pieces
In a medium saucepan, combine the olive oil, tomatoes, onion, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce forms
Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 1 hour, adding water as needed
In a separate saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, butter or margarine, and 1 tablespoon of salt
Let it come to a boil
Remove from the heat and add all the flour, beating with a wooden spoon
Bring to a simmer over low heat and beat until the dough forms
Remove from the heat, let cool slightly, and add the eggs one at a time, beating well
Add the last of the eggs slowly, so as not to make the dough too soft
Continue beating until the dough is smooth, shiny, and homogeneous
Add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and mix well
In a 2-liter pot, combine 1 liter of water and 1 tablespoon of salt
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and continue cooking
Pump the pasta dough into a piping bag with a large nozzle
Close the piping bag and cut off pieces about 3 cm long, using scissors
Cook only one-quarter of the pasta at a time without covering it for 5 minutes or until the ravioli rise to the surface
Remove with a skimmer and drain on paper towels
Distribute half of the sauce in a refractory dish, place the ravioli on top, and cover with the remaining sauce
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake in a hot oven for 3 minutes, or until golden brown
Serves 6 portions.
