Ravioli Spiral Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Make the Ravioli Dough

   In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center, add eggs, and gradually mix in flour until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

   Prepare the Filling

   Blanch spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Drain and chop finely. In a bowl, mix spinach, ricotta, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

   Roll Out the Dough

   Divide dough into quarters. Roll out each quarter into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin.

4. 4

   Fill the Ravioli

   Place small spoonfuls of the filling on one sheet of dough, then cover with another sheet. Press around the filling to seal and cut into individual ravioli.

5. 5

   Cook the Ravioli

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook ravioli for 3-4 minutes until they float. Remove and set aside.

   Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce

   In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream, bring to a simmer, then stir in parmesan cheese and black pepper until melted and smooth.
