To prepare pasta:
2 1/2 cups of flour
2 eggs
3 tablespoons of
cold water
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Put the flour on a bread-board.
Make a hole in the middle of it, and break the eggs into it. Add the water
and the salt, and mix all together with a fork until the flour is all absorbed
and you have a
paste which you can roll
out. Take a rolling-pin and roll it out very thin, about the thickness
of a ten-cent piece.
To prepare the filling:
1 small bunch of
spinach
1/2 pound of curds
Cook the spinach, drain,
and chop up fine, add the curds, one egg, salt and pepper, dash of nutmeg,
and a little grated cheese. Add to the paste, and cook for eight to ten
minutes in boiling salted water, and serve hot with butter and grated Parmesan
cheese.
TIP: Always prepare
filling mixture for ravioli first, than roll out pasta. |
