Garlic Spinach Ricotta Ravioli

                  This was my first time making ravioli and it turned out absolutely delicious, and gorgeous as well I mean holy crap look at that picture. Making pasta dough is probably one of the easiest things to learn as a skill. By the time you have mastered this, you could make fresh pasta anytime you want, if you have the necessary ingredients. I decided to put in a bit more work today just to see if I could actually make these, and I COULD! Gentlemen, if you want to impress your lady friends, make this. Trust me....anyway i'll have to upload a post on how to make pasta dough soon but if you know how to already then lets get started.  

Ingredients for Dough

1. 2 eggs

2. 1 cup of flour

3. tbspn of olive oil

4. pinch of salt

Ingredients for Filling

1. 2 cups of spinach

2. 1 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese

3. 2 cloves of garlic 

4. Pepper and salt 

Directions

1. Whisk your eggs and then add it to your dry ingredients. Add your olive oil and your pinch of salt. Mix until a kneed-able dough is formed. If you're unsure when you finish or not, cut open the dough. If there are gaps you are not done. If there aren't any, you're finished! Now I used a pasta roller in order to form my thin sheets but there are other ways to form ravioli too

2. Remember to dust your dough so it's a bit malleable. Roll out your dough until its however thin you want it to be. Use a cup or something circle to cut the dough and make your circles. They can be 2 to 2.5 inches big

3. For your filling, get a pan. Nice and hot, drizzle your olive oil and cook your spinach. Cook for only 1 minute. Next chop up your spinach and garlic. Get a bowl, and mix your spinach, garlic and ricotta cheese together. Get your plastic wrap, and let it sit in the fridge for 15 minutes

4. Once your filling is done setting, take it out of the fridge. Use a spoon to put your filling into your circular pasta dough. Pretend like you're making dumplings, its the same concept. Once you're done filling and folding your dough, get a pot and bring it up to the boil. They will literally cook for 2 minutes and then you're done!

Ravioli doesnt actually take a lot of time unless its you're first time doing it. So prep ahead of time before your mate comes over. One of the best comfort foods I've ever made, and perfect for a cold winter day. Absolutely Delicious.
