Spinach & Riccota Cheese Ravioli with Lemon Butter Sauce
Is " Ravioli " the pasta only available at Italian restaurants? Or the thing you'll get at the frozen food section at the store? Not anymore!
Compared to regular pasta, ravioli is a bit expensive. But, if you can get all these ingredients, you can cook ravioli in a freshier, tastier & much cheaper way!
When I was traveling in Florence, I had an amazing ravioli at the trattoria near the Duomo. I wanted to recreate the tasty ravioli at home...

Cooking Instructions

1
Making pasta takes time. Measure and prepare the filling & sauce ingredients and put them back in the refrigerator. As for spinach: boil, drain & squeeze out the water well. Then cut into bite size pieces in advance.
-
2
Mix "bread flour, cake flour & salt" and then add "water, egg yolks & olive oil" and mix well.
-
3
Knead the pasta mixture well and then spread it. Approximately 1 mm - 1.5 mm thin. The mixture is a bit hard, so this might be the toughest step.
-
4
Cut the pasta with a cookie cutter. Need to put the filling in it later, so "not to small" cookie cutter will be suitable.
-
5
Mix spinach and ricotta cheese. Then season it with nutmeg powder, fine salt & pepper.
-
6
Place the filling on the pasta and then top it with another piece of pasta, which needs to be pasted with egg yolk as "glue". If the edge is not sealed, the filling may come out while boiling...
