Ingredients

  

Pasta:

  • 10 oz all-purpose flour
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Filling:

  • 10 oz spinach
  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1 tsp Italian herbs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Sauce:

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 16 oz cremini mushrooms sliced
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 tsp thyme

Toppings (optional):

  • 1/3 cup toasted almonds

Instructions

 

  • Pour flour and salt onto a clean work surface and make a well in the center. Place the eggs/yolks in this well and mix with a fork. Swirl the fork concentrically, slowly incorporating the flour into the eggs. Once it forms a dough, knead it for 10 minutes, form it into a ball, and let rest for 30-60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling. Fill a large pot with the spinach and a splash of olive oil and gently heat, covered, until spinach has fully wilted. Chop spinach and then put it in a bowl, let cool, and add remaining filling ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
  • When dough is ready, cut it into four even sections and either use a pasta maker or a rolling pin to roll each ball into a rectangle. You can cut, fill, and seal the ravioli by hand or you can get a cheap ravioli maker that allows you to do all of this simultaneously.
  • Add pasta to a pot of boiling water and cook for 1-2 minutes, continuously checking for desired doneness. Drain pasta and let dry. Meanwhile, make the sauce by sautéing mushrooms and garlic in olive oil until golden brown, adding cream/thyme, simmering for 5 minutes, and adding Parmesan. Now add the ravioli to the sauce and simmer for another 2 minutes before serving. Can top with toasted almonds for an extra crunch (optional).
