Ravioli Ricotta and Spinach

Ingredients:

• 200g fresh spinach

• 300g ricotta cheese

• 50g Parmesan, finely grated

• Zest of 1 lemon

• 2 eggs

• 300g all-purpose flour

• A pinch of nutmeg

• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Begin your culinary escapade by blanching spinach—just a quick dip in boiling water, then a plunge into an icy bath. Squeeze out the excess water with a zeal and blend it into puree perfection.

2. On a clean surface, let the flour cascade into a volcano shape. Carve out a crater and crack the eggs into this floury nest. Add your vibrant spinach puree. Unleash your inner artisan, kneading the dough until it’s as smooth as a serenade.

3. Cheese Filling Charm: In a bowl where flavors mingle, mix ricotta, Parmesan, and lemon zest with a flirt of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Let each ingredient whisper its secrets to the others.

4. The Big Reveal: Roll your dough into sheets thin enough to tease the light through them. Dollop the cheese mixture onto the dough, fold it over, and press around the filling with the finesse of a poet.

5. Magic in the Making: With a pastry cutter or a glass, press out your ravioli parcels. Boil them until they float to the top like dreams buoyed by hope.

6. Final Flourish: Drizzle with olive oil or a butter sage sauce, and garnish with extra Parmesan, because, why not?

Serve this dish with a side of your favorite wine, laughter, and a sprinkle of joy. Bon Appétit! 🌿✨.
