- 1 cup fresh spinach (cooked and chopped)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for sauce)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 can (14 oz) whole peeled tomatoes (crushed by hand)
Instructions
- 1. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and eggs. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest.
- 2. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté spinach until wilted. Mix ricotta, Parmesan, sautéed spinach, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- 3. Roll Out the Dough: Divide rested dough into four pieces and roll each piece into thin sheets.
- 4. Assemble the Ravioli: Place spoonfuls of filling on one half of the pasta sheet, brush water around each mound, fold over, and seal edges.
- 5. Cut Out Ravioli: Slice between mounds; use a fork to ensure seals are tight.
- 6. Cook Your Ravioli: Boil salted water; cook ravioli for 3-4 minutes until they float. Serve with your preferred sauce.
