Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork or whisk
  • Rolling pin or pasta machine
  • Knife or ravioli cutter
  • Cling film or plastic wrap

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Water as needed

Instructions
 

  • On a clean surface, mound the whole wheat flour and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add the olive oil and salt, and begin mixing with a fork, slowly incorporating the flour.
  • Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Whole wheat dough tends to be a little firmer, so add water as needed to keep it pliable.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This resting period helps soften the whole wheat flour.
  • Roll the dough into thin sheets and cut into ravioli shapes. Fill with your favorite fillings and seal the edges tightly.
  • Boil the ravioli in salted water for 2–4 minutes, depending on thickness.

Notes

- Whole wheat pasta has a heartier, denser texture than traditional pasta, so it pairs well with rich fillings.
- The fiber content in whole wheat flour adds to the nutritional value.
- Rolling whole wheat dough thin enough for ravioli may take extra effort, but the end result is worth it.
