Equipment

  • 1 large pot
  • 1 sauté pan
  • 1 colander
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 rolling pin if making fresh pasta

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
  • fresh basil or parsley (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the pasta dough by mixing the flour, eggs, and salt in a mixing bowl. Knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • While the dough is resting, heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until softened.
  • Add the chopped spinach to the sauté pan and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled mushroom and spinach mixture with ricotta cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir until well mixed.
  • Roll out the pasta dough on a floured surface into thin sheets using a rolling pin.
  • Cut the dough into squares (about 3 inches by 3 inches). Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each square.
  • Fold the squares over to form triangles and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges if desired.
  • Boil water in a large pot and carefully drop in the ravioli. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.
  • In a separate sauté pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add red pepper flakes, if using, and the vegetable broth. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  • Drain the ravioli and add them to the sauce, tossing gently to combine.
  • Serve topped with grated Parmesan and garnish with fresh basil or parsley.

Notes

You can use store-bought ravioli to save time.
For a creamier sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream to the butter and garlic mixture.
Feel free to add other vegetables or herbs to the filling based on your preference.
