Homemade Ravioli

Ingredients
  

FOR THE RAVIOLI:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • just enough water to make the dough soft

FOR THE SPINACH, MUSHROOM & RICOTTA FILLING:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 cups baby bella mushrooms finely chopped
  • 2 cups spinach finely chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • ground pepper to taste

FOR THE ROSEMARY OIL:

  • 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary torn into pieces
  • 3-5 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions
 

FOR THE RAVIOLI:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, the stir in the flour and salt.
  • Add water as needed, until a soft dough is formed. Knead it several times, then separate it into two large pieces (feel free to let the dough rest in the fridge if you're not in a hurry).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough into very, very thin rectangle. Spoon your favorite filling by the teaspoonful at 1 1/2" intervals on top of this piece of rolled out dough.
  • Moisten your fingers with a little bit of water and wet the dough slightly just around the circle of filling (this will help the second layer of dough stick to the first layer of dough).
  • Take the second piece of dough, roll it out, then drape it carefully over the top of your filling. Slice dough into individual pieces of ravioli, securing the edges of each piece with a gentle press.
  • To cook the ravioli, heat a large pot of water to boiling. Gently slide the ravioli one by one into the pot, boiling for 6-8 minutes, or just until the dough is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately drizzled with Rosemary oil (or your favorite pasta topping)

FOR THE FILLING:

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil and cook garlic for about one minute before adding mushrooms and spinach.
  • Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the ricotta, parmesan, salt & pepper.
  • Spoon into ravioli for filling.

FOR THE ROSEMARY OIL:

  • Place rosemary, garlic, and chili flakes in a large bowl. Pour olive oil over the herbs & spices.
  • Set aside, allowing the flavors to meld together for about a half hour before drizzling over fresh cooked ravioli.
  • Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!
