Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach
1 cup feta cheese
½ cup pine nuts
2 fresh pasta sheets
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the spinach until fully wilted, about 2 minutes. Let cool, then squeeze the spinach to remove as much liquid as you can.
  • Combine the cooked spinach, feta, and pine nuts in a blender or food processor and pulse until it is the consistency of a fine paste. Beat the egg and water together in a small bowl.
  • To assemble the ravioli, brush the egg over a sheet of pasta. Drop the filling mixture on the dough by teaspoonfuls about one inch apart. Cover the filling with the top sheet of pasta, pressing out the air from around each portion of filling. Press firmly around the filling in whatever shape you wish (circles, squares) and then cut them apart. Press the tines of a fork around the edges of the pasta to seal each raviolo.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, add the ravioli, stir gently, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered until the ravioli float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 to 5 minutes.

This filling was a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic and Italian seasoning to it and it was much better.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this filling was surprisingly good. The feta and pine nuts really helped to balance out the flavor.

The filling was easy to make and had a great flavor. However, the ravioli dough was a bit too thick for my taste.

This filling was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was good.
