Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Roll out the dough into thin sheets. Place small spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto one sheet of dough, leaving space in between each spoonful.

Place another sheet of dough on top and press around each mound of filling to seal. Use a ravioli cutter or knife to cut out individual ravioli.

Place the ravioli on a tray and sprinkle kosher salt on top. Allow the ravioli to dry for at least a few minutes before cooking.

To cook: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli for about 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
