Method for Spanish Ravioli
• Using a mixer with a dough hook. Prepare pasta and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, set aside.
• In a large sauté pan sauté garlic and shallots lightly in olive oil and add spinach. When spinach has wilted, deglaze with Pinot Grigio and sauté until liquid has been reduced by 85%. Remove from pan and chop lightly. Do not mash. Let cool. Mix with cheeses and check seasoning.
• If you have a pasta sheeter, use it to make log sheets of pasta or use a rolling pin. Only do 2 sheets at a time so the others will not dry out.
• Lay sheets out over ravioli form and prepare according to instructions on the box. Or use free form ravioli crimper and make pasta purses. Set aside.
• Bring a pot of water to the boil, with a pinch of salt, to cook the ravioli.
• In a separate heated pan add lemon juice and reduce by 1/4. Add cream, salt and pepper and reduce by 1/4. Add cooked ravioli and cook for about 2 minutes more to allow the sauce to be absorbed by the pasta.
• Plate on a large plate and garnish with fresh spinach and a lemon wheel.
• The pasta recipe and filling recipe will make approximately 36 / 2-inch ravioli. The sauce, if enough, to coat 8-10 ravioli.
