Homemade spinach and cheese ravioli




This month for my Secret Recipe Club I was assigned Sarah's blog Curious Cusiniere.
I truly enjoyed going through many of her recipes as I found it very difficult to make up my mind. Sarah has a very versatile repertoire fanning across cuisines. I finally chose to prepare her latest dish Homemade ravioli with spinach and cheese. The only change I made was to substitute the flour with whole wheat.  I served it with almond basil pesto sauce. To my delight I managed to use homegrown spinach, basil and parsley. To be truthful all of it was devoured immediately after the picture was taken. Do check out Sarah's blog for more.

  • Place the flour in a bowl, make a well in the centre. Crack the eggs into the well.
  • Mix well and knead to a dough.
  • Roll the dough on a well floured surface.

  • Seal and cut edges.
  • Cook the ravioli in water till it floats

  5. I love spanch and cheese ravioli! In fact, it's the very first thing I ever made for my husband when we were dating. I must say, I cheated and used wonton wrapper - still do! One of these days I'll be brave enough to make pasta dough from scratch.
