Ravioli
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1 tablespoon water
Mix all ingredients together, making a dough, and work until firm. Cut in
two and roll into 2 thin sheets.
Filling:
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 beaten egg
2/3 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
In a skillet cook onion in butter or margarine until onion is tender but
not brown. Squeeze spinach to remove the excess moisture, then add the spinach
to the sauteed onion mixture and heat thorough.
In mixing bowl combine egg, ricotta, Romano, salt, nutmeg and spinach mixture.
Mix thoroughly.
Place 1 teaspoon of mixture on one of the dough sheets at 2-inch intervals.
To seal the dough, dip your finger into cold water and moisten the dough around
each ricotta mound. Place second sheet over the first and press with fingers
around each mound. Cut into 2-inch squares, making sure that the edges are well
sealed.
Boil water which has been salted, adding a little olive oil to the water
to prevent sticking. Drop the ravioli one by one into the boiling water. Cook
only as many as fit comfortably into the pan. When the ravioli are cooked, they
will raise to the top of the water. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Serve with spaghetti sauce or with butter and Romano cheese.
