Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 1 cup Frozen spinach
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 cups Marinara sauce
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, create a mound with the flour. Make a well in the center and crack in 2 eggs. Add olive oil and salt to the well.

Step 2

Using a fork, gradually mix the flour into the liquid center until a dough starts to form. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 3

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. Thaw and drain the frozen spinach, pressing to remove excess water.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, spinach, Parmesan cheese, garlic, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.

Step 6

Once the dough has rested, divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin sheet, about 1/16-inch thick, on a floured surface.

Step 7

On one sheet of dough, place small dollops (about 1 teaspoon each) of the filling, spaced about 1 inch apart.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining egg with 2 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash around the filling dollops.

Step 9

Carefully place the second sheet of dough on top, pressing around the filling to seal. Ensure no air pockets remain around the filling.

Step 10

Use a ravioli cutter, pastry wheel, or knife to cut out individual ravioli squares. Press edges firmly to seal them.

Step 11

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli in small batches and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

Step 12

In a separate pan, heat the marinara sauce over medium heat.

Step 13

Drain the cooked ravioli and serve immediately with a generous amount of marinara sauce on top.
