INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup part-skim ricotta cheese (170g)
2 egg whites (approx. 66g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
1 oz dry whole wheat pasta flour (28g)
1 tbsp olive oil (14g)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (10g)
1/4 cup fresh parsley (10g)
1 garlic clove (3g)
1 tbsp lemon juice (15g)
PREPARATION
In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese, egg whites, and fresh spinach until well combined. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
Prepare your whole wheat pasta dough by mixing the pasta flour with water until a firm dough is formed. Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface.
Place small dollops of the ricotta-spinach filling on the dough, cover with another layer of dough, and cut into ravioli shapes ensuring the edges are sealed tightly.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and gently cook the ravioli for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top, indicating they are done.
For the herb sauce, combine the olive oil, fresh basil, parsley, garlic, and lemon juice in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed.
Drain the ravioli and drizzle with the vibrant herb sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors.
