Spinach Filled Ravioli

Spinach Filled Ravioli

Being a vegetarian, it is very difficult to find veg ravioli in market. And yes I love Italian food, so I decided to make ravioli at home for my Little Ones 6th Month B'day celebration. It was just awesome. It is a bit of process but trust me worth every effort.

Ingrediants

For Dough

This makes about 15-17 pieces

¾ cup Flour

1 Tbsp Soften Butter 

Few Tbsp of Ice cold water

Salt

For Filling

1 Bunch Spinach

2 Tbsp Cheese ( I used mexican four cheese)

Procedure

Step 1 : 

Blanch 1 bunch of Spinach and chop it small. Add to it cheese, salt pepper, and seasoning and let it cool for some time.

Step 2:

Mix all the ingredients for Dough to form soft dough and let it rest for at least 0.5 hour to 1 hour

Step 3:

Divide the dough into 2 parts and

Roll it as thin as possible. 

Using a cookie cutter or any mold 

and make equal rounds like puri. 

Place the filling one each of them 

and then place another small sheet on it. 

Seal the edges applying some cold water 

and press it using a fork.

Step 4:

Take a pot of boiling water and add these stuffed sheets into the boiling water. Let it cook for about 3 mins. Once done they will start to float up. Immediately transfer then to another pot of cold water.

Ravioli is ready. You can store them in fridge for a day to two. Make sauce of your choice and serve it warm.

Serving : Place ravioli , sauce and cheese  and Bake it in oven at 350F for 20mins or Make white sauce and pour over it and sprinkle with some cheese.

 We were so hungry that I could not take the final pictures haha...

Steam and chop broccoli then mix cream cheese, chopped spinach to it.Add salt pepper, oregano and give it a good stir. Microwave for abt 30 secs to a min.
