Delight in tender homemade spinach ricotta ravioli draped in a vibrant fresh tomato sauce and sprinkled with crispy sage. The harmonized flavors of earthy whole wheat pasta, creamy ricotta, and aromatic herbs make this dish a light yet satisfying meal perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
50g Whole Wheat Flour
2 large Eggs
2/3 cup Part-Skim Ricotta Cheese (~150g)
1 cup Fresh Spinach
1/2 cup Fresh Diced Tomatoes
1 Garlic Clove, minced
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Handful of Fresh Basil Leaves
5 Fresh Sage Leaves
PREPARATION
In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and eggs to form a smooth dough. Knead the dough briefly until elastic, cover and let it rest while you prepare the filling.
In another bowl, mix together the part-skim ricotta cheese, finely chopped fresh spinach, and a light pinch of salt. Adjust seasoning if desired.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until thin. Cut into squares or rounds, then spoon a small amount of the ricotta-spinach filling onto each piece. Fold and seal edges to form ravioli, ensuring no air pockets remain.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and gently drop in the ravioli. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked through. Drain and set aside.
For the tomato sauce, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the fresh diced tomatoes, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly, then stir in the basil leaves.
In a separate small pan, quickly crisp the sage leaves over medium-high heat until they turn crispy, taking care not to burn them.
Toss the cooked ravioli gently in the tomato sauce until well coated. Plate the ravioli, then garnish with the crispy sage leaves for added texture and aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of creamy, tangy, and herbaceous flavors.
