Ricotta and Spinach Ravioli Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup chopped spinach
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. In a food processor, combine the flour, eggs, salt, and olive oil. Pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly and holds together when squeezed. Remove the dough from the food processor and knead it for 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
2. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Roll out the dough using a pasta roller or by hand until it is thin. Cut the rolled-out dough into 3-inch circles using a cookie cutter or a drinking glass.
5. Place a spoonful of the ricotta and spinach mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges of the ravioli.
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.
7. Remove the ravioli from the water using a slotted spoon and serve hot with your favorite sauce.
