Potato Ravioli Stuffed with Meat: Ofelle Triestine
- 2 1/2 pounds potatoes
- 1 egg
- Pinch salt
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 pound ground veal
- 1/4 pound sweet sausage, removed from the casing
- 1 pound spinach, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Boil the potatoes whole in water until very tender.
- Drain and, while still warm, peel, and run through a ricer or food mill.
- Place the potatoes in a large bowl and add the egg, a pinch of salt, and enough flour to make a dough that is the same consistency of gnocchi dough.
- Knead the dough for 5 minutes, then let rest for 30 minutes.
- In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over high heat, then add the onion, veal , and sausage, and brown over medium-high heat until it is nicely browned.
- Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper and cook over high heat until the spinach is well cooked and most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Let cool.
- Roll the pasta dough out on a pasta machine down to the thinnest setting, and cut 3-inch squares from the dough.
- Place a scant tablespoon of the filling in the middle of 1/2 of the squares, and top them with the other squares, pressing the edges together to seal.
- Set aside.
- Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt.
- Cook the ravioli in the boiling water until they are tender and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
- Drain and place in a serving bowl.
- Drizzle the butter over, top with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve.
