Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli

Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli

Ingredients:

  • Spinach
  • ricotta
  • Fresh pasta
  • Sage leaves
  • Unsalted butter

Instructions:

  • Either make your own pasta - the internet has lots of recipes - or buy fresh lasagne.
  • Blanch spinach in boiling water until leaves are soft. Drain and wrap in kitchen paper to absorb surplus moisture. Chop finely.
  • Mix spinach and ricotta well. Place 1 heaped tbsp of mixture on pasta sheet.
  • Moisten round the mixture with water, cover with another sheet of pasta and press down to expel any air bubbles.
  • Cut out ravioli with a pastry cutter.
  • Gently fry sage leaves with butter.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, reduce to a simmer, and gently place the ravioli in the water. They will cook very quickly so take them out after 2 minutes. Place on kitchen paper to absorb moisture.
  • Garnish with fried sage leaves and clarified butter.
