Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240g) fresh spinach, wilted and chopped
  • 1 cup (250g) ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Create a well in the center and add the eggs.
  3. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough starts to form.
  4. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. In a bowl, combine chopped spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  7. Divide the rested dough into quarters.
  8. Roll out each piece until thin (about 1/16 inch or 1.5mm) using a rolling pin or pasta machine.
  9. Cut out circles of dough using a cookie cutter.
  10. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.
  11. Moisten the edges with water, fold, and seal tightly to avoid any leaks.
  12. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
  13. Carefully drop the ravioli into the boiling water.
  14. Cook until they float and are al dente (about 3-5 minutes).
  15. Use a slotted spoon to remove the ravioli.
  16. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil.
  17. Add heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  18. Stir in Parmesan, salt, and pepper until smooth.
