Fresh Spinach Ravioli

Ingredients
  

  • Pasta:
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • Filing:
  • 2-3 cups spinach
  • 1/2 small red onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1-2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1-2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Start by sautéing your spinach, onion, garlic powder, pepper and garlic in olive oil over medium heat. Cook until onions are soft and spinach is wilted down, about 5-7 minutes. Place your spinach mixture on a cutting board and carefully chop it up into finer pieces. Place in bowl with cream cheese and mix until combined and smooth. Set aside.
  • Place your flour on your surface and make a well in the middle. Crack your eggs and gently combine everything.
  • Keep combining everything together until a dough starts to form. Pressing everything together with your palms and kneading into a nice dough. You can add a SPRINKLE of water to help incorporate everything together. This takes awhile! Its messy, fun and worth it.
  • Once you knead and form your dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and set in fridge and rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • After resting. You can cut your dough into halves or 4 equal pieces. It will be easier to roll out with your rolling pin. Just keep the other pieces covered so it won’t dry out.
  • Roll out your dough as thin as you can. This is where I messed up at. If you have a pasta machine use that! Along this process you can sprinkle a pinch of flour if it starts sticking. Not too much or it will dry out.
  • Once your dough is rolled out thin. Get your cookie cutter or knife and cut out your dough.
  • Fill with your filling and place another cut piece of dough over and press firmly with a little bit of water. Repeat until done.
  • Store your pasta in the fridge in a airtight container if your cooking later. If your cooking right away. Bring some salted water to a boil and boil for about 2-3 mintutes. They will start to float when done.
  • 10. Add to your favorite pasta sauce and enjoy!

Notes

You might have some extra filling leftover. Enjoy with some crusty bread as a snack or add to your pasta sauce!
Be patient with your dough. This isn't a quick thing to do! Its worth it, trust me. Im doing this again!
