Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spinach and Feta Ravioli Filling.
Step 1
Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Toss in fresh spinach and sautรฉ until it wilts completely, which should take about two minutes.
Step 3
Once done, remove the skillet from heat and allow the spinach to cool slightly before squeezing out any excess moisture.
Step 4
Next, in a blender or food processor, blend the cooked spinach with feta cheese and pine nuts until you achieve a smooth, fine paste.
Step 5
For the ravioli assembly, whisk an egg with a splash of water in a small bowl to create an egg wash.
Step 6
Brush this mixture over a sheet of pasta.
Step 7
Using a teaspoon, dollop small amounts of the spinach filling onto the pasta, ensuring they are spaced about an inch apart.
Step 8
Carefully lay another sheet of pasta over the filling, pressing out any air pockets around each mound.
Step 9
Firmly seal the edges, shaping the ravioli into your desired form, whether circles or squares.
Step 10
For an extra touch, use a fork to crimp the edges.
Step 11
Repeat this process with the remaining pasta and filling.
Step 12
To cook the ravioli, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 13
Gently add the ravioli, stirring to prevent them from sticking together.
Step 14
Cook until they float to the surface and the filling is heated through, which should take about three to five minutes.
Step 15
Enjoy the delightful flavors of your homemade ravioli, a dish that brings warmth and comfort to any table.
