Ingredients
  

For the Ravioli Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour For the dough
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Filling
  • 1 cup mushrooms (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (chopped)
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (Halal-friendly)
  • to taste salt and pepper
For the Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) For added heat
  • to taste fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Make the Dough
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center, where you will beat the eggs and add olive oil. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough starts to form.
  2. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let it rest for at least 20 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they soften.
  2. Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a bowl, mix the sautéed mushrooms and spinach with ricotta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
Roll the Dough
  1. After resting, divide your dough into two equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick.
Fill the Ravioli
  1. Place small spoonfuls of your filling about 1 inch apart on one sheet of dough.
  2. Moisten the edges with a bit of water, then fold the dough over to create a pocket. Press around each filling to seal tightly.
Cook the Ravioli
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop in your ravioli and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until they float to the top.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until aromatic.
  2. If you're using red pepper flakes, add them here! Toss the cooked ravioli gently in the skillet and let them absorb the sauce for a minute.
Serve
  1. Plate your ravioli and garnish with fresh parsley for that extra pop of color.

Notes

If short on time, you can use store-bought pasta dough. Experiment with fillings; you can swap mushrooms with other favorites like zucchini. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
