Ingredients
Method
Make the Dough
- 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.
- Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let it rest for at least 20 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they soften.
- Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a bowl, mix the sautéed mushrooms and spinach with ricotta, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
Roll the Dough
- 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
- Place small spoonfuls of your filling about 1 inch apart on one sheet of dough.
- 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
- 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
- In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until aromatic.
- 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
- 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.
