Add fresh boiling water into a dish and soak lasagna sheets until soft but not breaking.

In a pan, add olive oil, garlic, and baby spinach, sautéing until cooked.

Transfer soaked lasagna sheets to a dry paper towel to remove excess water.

In a bowl, crack an egg, add black pepper, and mix.

Add ricotta cheese and chilled cooked spinach to the egg mixture and mix well.

On a flat surface, sprinkle flour and lay out lasagna sheets.

Add filling to the lasagna sheets, being gentle as they are fragile.

Press the ends and middle of the lasagna sheets to secure the filling.

Cut the lasagna sheets into three equal parts using a bread knife.

Press the ends of the ravioli with a fork to ensure they are sealed.

In a pan, add napolitana sauce and a bit of water, letting it simmer.

Add the ravioli to the sauce and let it cook until al dente.

Serve the ravioli garnished with cheese and basil leaves.
