Homemade Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli

What you’ll need:

• For the dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt

• For the filling:

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, cooked and chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg (for sealing)

How to make it:

1. Make the Dough:

   • In your mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
   • Gradually add the eggs while using the flex edge beater until the dough forms.
   • Knead the dough with the dough hook for about 5 minutes. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a bowl, mix together ricotta, chopped spinach, Parmesan, salt, and pepper until well combined.

3. Roll Out the Dough:

   • Divide the dough into quarters. Roll out one piece at a time using your pasta maker until it’s thin.

4. Form the Ravioli:

   • Lay one sheet of pasta on your work surface. Place small spoonfuls of filling about 1 inch apart.
   • Brush around the filling with a beaten egg. Lay another sheet of pasta on top and press around the filling to seal.
   • Cut out the ravioli using a pasta cutter or knife. Repeat until all the dough is used.

5. Cook the Ravioli:

• Boil a pot of salted water. Cook the ravioli for about 3-4 minutes or until they float. Serve with your favorite sauce!
