Spinach Feta Pine Nut Ravioli Filling
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag fresh spinach
  • 1 cup feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 fresh pasta sheets
Instructions
1
Prepare the filling:
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Cook the spinach until it reaches its maximum softness, about 2 minutes.
4
Allow the spinach to cool down, then use a cloth or paper towels to extract as much moisture from it as possible.
5
Simultaneously, blend the cooled spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and toasted pine nuts in a blender or food processor until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
6
Create the ravioli:
7
Combine egg and water in a small bowl.
8
Brush a thin layer of the egg mixture over a pasta sheet to help it stick together.
9
Drop small dollops of the filling onto the pasta sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
10
Cover each dollop with a separate piece of pasta, pressing out any air pockets that may form around the filling.
11
Press firmly to seal each portion of the ravioli in a shape of your choice (e.g., circles or squares).
12
Use the tines of a fork to press around the edges of each pasta ravioli, creating a seal.
13
Repeat this process with the remaining pasta sheet.
14
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
15
Once the water is boiling, gently add the ravioli to it and return the pot to a boil.
16
Cook the ravioli uncovered until they float to the surface and the filling is hot, taking about 3 to 5 minutes.
