Main Ingredients

For the Sauce

Method

Preparing the Filling

1

Prepare the Spinach

Wash and chop the spinach finely. Sauté it in a pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes until wilted. Set aside to cool.

2

Mix the Filling

In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sautéed spinach, grated parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Making the Pasta

3

Prepare the Dough

If using store-bought pasta dough, roll it out thinly. If making from scratch, combine flour and eggs until a dough forms. Knead until smooth and roll out into thin sheets.

4

Form the Pasticcare

Cut pasta sheets into squares (about 5x5 cm). Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Fold the pasta over to form a triangle and seal the edges with a fork.

Cooking the Sauce

5

Prepare the Sauce

In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in crushed tomatoes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.

6

Add Basil

Tear the basil leaves and add to the sauce. Stir well and let it cook for another 2 minutes.

Cooking the Pasticcare

7

Boil the Pasticcare

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently add the pasticcare and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.

8

Serve

Drain the pasticcare and serve hot with the basil tomato sauce on top. Garnish with additional grated parmesan if desired.
