Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 piece Egg yolk
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and let the spinach cool slightly.
Once cooled, transfer the spinach to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out any excess liquid to avoid a watery filling.
Finely chop the drained spinach and place it in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, egg yolk, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the spinach.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the filling for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Once ready, use as the filling for your favorite gluten-free ravioli dough and proceed with your ravioli assembly and cooking instructions.
