Mix flour, eggs, and salt in a bowl to form a dough.

Knead the dough until smooth, about 5-10 minutes.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface.

Cut the dough into circles using a cutter.

In a bowl, combine ham, cheese, and spinach; season with nutmeg and black pepper.

Place a spoonful of filling on half of the dough circles.

Cover with another circle of dough and seal the edges firmly.

Boil water in a large pot and add salt.

Cook the sorrentinos in boiling water until they float, about 3-5 minutes.

Remove and drain the sorrentinos carefully.

Prepare a sauce by sautéing garlic and onion in olive oil until fragrant.

Add tomato sauce and simmer for 10 minutes; season with basil and pepper.

Serve the sorrentinos topped with the sauce and grated parmesan.
