Pasta is definitely one of my favourite foods. There are so many different varieties and the flavour combinations are endless!
For dinner this Sunday night my mom and I decided it would be fun to create our own ravioli! To add an extract challenge to the task we made them gluten free and as healthy as possible. Let me tell you they turned out great!
Using only four simple ingredients I created these gluten free quinoa flour ravioli and stuffed them with a mixture of sauteed spinach and ricotta cheese. I'm so excited to make these again and create plenty of different filling options... I'v already brain stormed a bunch!
This is a great Sunday night meal to make with your family and enjoy your time together.
Ingredients:
2 cups quinoa flour
2 eggs + 1 egg ( to be used to seal pasta)
1/2 cup water
2 tsp. olive oil
* To create filling I just sauteed some spinach with salt and pepper then mixed it with ricotta cheese.
1. Place 2 cups quinoa flour on your counter, shape into a hill and create a well in the middle.
2. Add 2 eggs to the centre of the well and gently incorporate them into the flour using two fingers. Once eggs are incorporated add 1/2 cup water.
3. Kneed dough together and add 2tsp. olive oil.
4. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and allow it to sit for 30 minutes.
5. Using either a rolling pin or a pasta machine roll dough until it is paper thin. Using a cookie cutter cut dough into circles.
6. Place 1 egg in a bowl beat with fork to create an egg wash. Rub egg wash on pasta dough, stuff with your choice of filling and place a second piece of dough on top, press down edges with fingers then seal with a fork.
7. Place pasta in boiling water for 3-5 minutes and serve with your choice of sauce.
