Tender pasta parcels with a tasty cheese filling
Serves 4
Preparation time 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 450g spinach, cooked, finely chopped and cooled
- Half a 250g tub Asda ricotta
- 1 large egg
- 1 quantity pasta dough (see 'Basic pasta' for recipe)
- Asda Napoletana sauce
- Parmesan shavings to serve
Method
1 Squeeze any moisture from the spinach, mix with the ricotta and egg, then season.
2 Roll out the dough to a thin rectangle shape, about 2mm thick and cut in half. Cover one piece with a damp, clean towel.
3 Put half teaspoons of spinach mixture on the uncovered piece of pasta in even, well-spaced rows. Brush a little water around the filling. Cover with the other sheet of pasta, then press firmly around each mound to seal.
4 Cut into ravioli, making sure each is sealed. Dry on a wire rack for 30 minutes.
5 Cook gently in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain, serve with heated sauce and Parmesan.
