Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli

Ingredients

Pasta Dough

  • 200 g (1⅔ cups) plain flour
  • 2 eggs

Filling

  • 110 g (4 oz) spinach
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 55 g (2 oz) ricotta
  • Salt and pepper

  2. Roll small portions through pasta machine repeatedly to thin sheets.
  3. Blanch spinach 3 minutes; drain and squeeze dry; chop. Process spinach with egg yolk and ricotta; season.
