Ingredients
-
Fresh Pasta recipe (Sarahnspice.com)
-
1/2 cup
ricotta cheese
-
1/4 cup
grated Parmesan
-
2 tablespoons
fresh chopped spinach
-
1
egg
-
1/4 teaspoon
black pepper
-
1 pinch
freshly grated nutmeg (you could also use a pinch of ground nutmeg)
-
For Egg Wash:
-
1
egg
-
1/2 teaspoon
water
Directions
-
Roll out your fresh pasta dough in long sheets.
-
Cut in 2, 3 or 4-inch rounds using a cookie cutter.
-
In a medium-sized bowl combine ricotta, parmesan, spinach, egg, pepper and nutmeg. Mix it all together. Put the filling in a zip top bag and snip one corner off for easy piping of the filling. Pipe about ½ teaspoon of the filling into the center of each round.
-
Beat together the egg and water. Brush egg wash on half of the round. Fold over and gently press to seal. Bring the 2 ends together and seal with a little bit more of the egg wash and fold up the edge.
-
Place on a sheet pan, lined with parchment paper dusted with flour to keep from sticking while you work on the rest.
-
Boil for 3-5 minutes until they float to the surface.
-
Strain, toss with your favorite sauce and enjoy!
