Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca starch
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 small onion
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 0.25 cup fresh basil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour and tapioca starch. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface (using additional tapioca starch) until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.
Add the ground chicken and cook until browned. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
Season with half of the salt and pepper, the garlic powder, and mix well. Set aside to cool.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Place spoonfuls of the filling onto one sheet of dough, about 2 inches apart. Cover with the second sheet and press to seal around the filling. Cut into ravioli shapes.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, adding a pinch of salt. Cook the ravioli in batches for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.
For the sauce, melt the ghee in a saucepan over medium heat. Add coconut milk, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, remaining salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir and cook until heated through and slightly thickened.
Serve the ravioli topped with the cream sauce and garnished with fresh basil.
