You Will Need (10 things)

  • Bowl(s)
  • Pan
  • 2 x Egg(s) + 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Pesto (Optional)
  • ½ cup Ricotta
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Spinach
  • 4 cup Boiling Water
  • 2 cup Plain Flour

Steps (8 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Place the flour in a bowl, create a well in the middle and add the egg with a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Mix it all together, adding the water little by little, until a thick dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes and then put to the side.

  3. 3

    Heat a saucepan with the olive oil and then cook the spinach. Remove from the heat and mix in the ricotta cheese.

  4. 4

    Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for a few more minutes.

  5. 5

    Roll the dough out using a rolling pin, or pasta machine, and then cut in to small squares with a pasta or pizza cutter.

  6. 6

    Place the egg yolk in a dish and beat with a pinch of salt. Take a pastry brush and brush yolk on to the dough squares. Place a spoonful of ricotta filling on a dough square.

  7. 7

    Place another dough square on top and score around the edges with a fork.

  8. 8

    Make as many as you want and then cook in a pan of boiling water for a minute before draining and serving. I suggest serving with pesto and a sprinkling of ricotta.
