  • Baking — 20 minutes

  • Preparation — 30 minutes

  • Servings — 4

Ingredients

Ravioli dough

  • 2 cups

    of all-purpose flour (+ 2 tbsp for your countertop)

  • 3

    large eggs

  • 1 tbsp

    of olive oil

Stuffing

  • 1 tsp

    of olive oil

  • 2

    Dalisa Italian sausages (Hot or Mild)

  • 3 cups

    of fresh chopped spinach

  • 1 pinch

    of salt and pepper

  • 1/2 tsp

    of red pepper flakes

  • 1/2 cup

    of ricotta cheese

Preparation

Ravioli dough

  1. On your work surface, place 2 cups of flour. Form a well in the center. Add the eggs and oil.
  2. With a fork, beat the eggs and oil, gradually incorporating the flour until a ball of dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add a little flour. If it is too dry, add a little water.
  3. Knead for 10 minutes until you obtain an elastic, smooth and non-sticky dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 30 for minutes.
  4. If you have a rolling mill, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If not, roll out the dough with a rolling pin or a full bottle of wine.
  5. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 to 2 mm. Flour your work surface well so that the dough does not stick to it.
  6. Flour the blade of a knife and cut rectangles of about 8 cm by 4 cm. You are now ready to stuff the ravioli (see steps below).

Stuffing

  1. Heat the oil in a pan. Add the sausages and, using a wooden spoon, crumble the flesh. Cook for about 8 minutes until the meat is cooked through.
  2. In the same pan, add the spinach and let soften for 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and the pepper flakes.
  3. Transfer to a bowl and let cool for a few minutes. Stir in the ricotta and taste to adjust the seasoning.
  4. On one half of the dough rectangles, place about 1 tbsp of stuffing. Using your finger, wet the edge of the dough and fold the other half of the dough to form a square ravioli. Press well to seal the stuffing inside.
  5. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the ravioli for about 6 to 8 minutes. Enjoy with your favourite sauce or with brown butter.
