How to cook Ravioli with spinach

Step 1

Ravioli with spinach

Prepare the dough. For the right dough, you will need flour, 4 eggs and salt. Mix these ingredients in a deep bowl or on a cutting board. Knead the dough well. It should be smooth and elastic. Leave it for 30 minutes, wrapped in cling film so that it does not dry out.

Step 2

Ravioli with spinach

Make the filling. Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the spinach. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. Cool. Transfer to a deep bowl, add ricotta to the spinach and stir. Finely chop the parsley. Pour it into the spinach and cheese filling, add bread crumbs, nutmeg, grated cheese and 1 egg. Salt and pepper. Transfer to a blender bowl and grind until smooth.

Step 3

Ravioli with spinach

Make spinach ravioli. Divide the finished dough into 2 equal parts. Roll them out into layers. The thickness of each should not be more than 2 mm. Place portions of the filling, approximately the size of a walnut, at equal distances from each other. Place a free layer of dough on top of the dough with the filling. Cut the workpiece into squares so that the filling is exactly in the center. Press the edges of the squares with a fork. Boil water in a saucepan, add salt. After boiling, add the ravioli. Cook them for 10 minutes.

Ravioli with spinach - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use cottage cheese, goat cheese, or even mashed tofu for a dairy-free alternative. Just ensure the texture is creamy and well-drained to avoid a watery filling.
Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend for the dough, and use gluten-free breadcrumbs in the filling. Check that all other ingredients, like nutmeg and cheese, are certified gluten-free.
Cooked ravioli can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To prevent sticking, drizzle them with a little olive oil before storing.
Absolutely! Freeze uncooked ravioli in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months—cook directly from frozen, adding 1-2 extra minutes to boiling time.
Swap the flour dough for wonton wrappers (lower in carbs) or use keto-friendly dough made with almond flour. For the filling, reduce breadcrumbs or replace them with crushed pork rinds.
Light options like browned butter with sage, marinara, or a creamy Alfredo sauce work beautifully. A drizzle of olive oil with lemon zest also enhances the flavors.
This usually means the dough is too dry. Try kneading in a teaspoon of water or olive oil at a time until it becomes pliable. Resting the dough longer (up to 1 hour) also helps.
Depending on size, you’ll get about 25-30 ravioli. For larger portions, double the recipe or make bigger pieces—just adjust cooking time slightly.
