INGREDIENTS
1 cup Roasted Butternut Squash (205g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1/2 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (125g)
1 large Egg White (33g)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour (60g)
1/3 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (75g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss cubed butternut squash with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast on a baking sheet for about 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
In a bowl, combine the roasted butternut squash with fresh spinach, ricotta cheese, egg white, and cottage cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and blend until a cohesive, slightly chunky filling forms.
Prepare the pasta dough by mixing whole wheat flour with a little water and a pinch of salt until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Roll out the dough thinly on a lightly floured surface.
Cut the dough into even squares or circles. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each piece of dough. Fold over the dough and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal and create the ravioli shape.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the ravioli and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they float to the surface and the dough is tender.
Drain the ravioli and serve immediately with a light drizzle of olive oil and extra cracked pepper if desired.
