INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup Ricotta Cheese (180g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach (30g)
1 Egg White (33g)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour (60g)
2 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese (10g)
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Basil (10g)
1/4 cup chopped Fresh Parsley (15g)
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice (15g)
1 Garlic Clove (3g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
PREPARATION
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and finely chopped fresh spinach. Add the egg white and mix until smooth; this will form your filling.
In another bowl, mix the whole wheat flour with a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center and add the ricotta-spinach mixture. Knead until a smooth dough forms. If too dry, add a tiny bit of water; if sticky, dust with a bit more flour.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 20-30 minutes to relax the gluten.
Meanwhile, prepare the herb sauce by combining chopped basil, parsley, lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil in a small bowl. Stir to blend; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until very thin. Cut into squares or circles as desired. Place a small spoonful of the ricotta-spinach filling in the center of each piece, then top with another layer of dough. Seal the edges well to form ravioli by pressing them together.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface, indicating they are done.
Drain the ravioli and plate them. Drizzle the fresh herb sauce over the warm ravioli and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of creamy filling and vibrant, zesty herb sauce.
