Cheese and spinach ravioli with burnt butter recipe
- 330 g (11.6oz) baby English spinach
- 260 g (9.2oz) fresh ricotta cheese
- 130 g (4.6oz) freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, plus extra, to serve
- 100 g (3.5oz) grated aged buffalo mozzarella cheese
- 65 g (2.3oz) beaten free-range or organic egg
- 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
- 1 pinch fine sea salt, to taste
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 600 g (21.2oz) fresh egg pasta dough
- 1 cup fine semolina, for dusting
- 200 g (7.1oz) salted butter, chopped
- 12 sage leaves
- Prepare the spinach by blanching in boiling water for 2 minutes.
- Drain and refresh in iced water.
- Squeeze as much liquid out of the spinach as possible.
- Process the spinach in a food processor or use a mortar and pestle.
- Mix with the three cheeses, beaten egg and nutmeg, season with the sea salt and black pepper and set aside.
- To make the ravioli, roll the pasta dough into sheets of less than 1 mm thickness.
- Brush one sheet lightly with water and place 1/2 tablespoon measures of the spinach mixture roughly 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
- Place another sheet on top, pressing around the mixture to remove air bubbles (this step is essential).
- Using a circle cutter of approximately 5-5.5 cm (2-2 1/4 inches) in diameter, cut round ravioli shapes, dust lightly with the semolina and place on tray lined with non-stick baking paper.
- Cook the ravioli in abundant salted boiling water and drain.
- Heat the butter in a saucepan and cook the sage leaves over medium-high heat until golden brown in colour.
- Serve with the ravioli and extra Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
