INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Low-Fat Ricotta Cheese (124g)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (62g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach, chopped (30g)
3 Egg Whites (99g)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour (60g)
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes, halved (150g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
1 Garlic clove, minced (3g)
1 tbsp Fresh Basil, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
In a bowl, combine the ricotta, cottage cheese, chopped spinach, and egg whites. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a dash of nutmeg if desired.
On a lightly floured surface, mix the whole wheat flour with a small amount of water (if needed) to form a smooth dough. Roll out the dough thinly.
Place small spoonfuls of the filling onto the dough, leaving enough space between each mound. Cover with another sheet of dough and press around each filling portion to seal, forming ravioli.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the halved cherry tomatoes and minced garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 12-15 minutes until the tomatoes are soft and slightly caramelized.
While the sauce is roasting, lightly boil the ravioli in salted water for 3-4 minutes or until they float, indicating they are cooked through.
Drain the ravioli and plate them. Spoon the roasted tomato sauce over the ravioli and garnish with fresh basil for an aromatic finish.
