Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mound flour on a counter. Make a well in the center and crack eggs into it.

  2. Step 2

    Beat eggs with a fork, then gradually incorporate flour from the well's edge until a shaggy dough forms.

  3. Step 3

    Knead the dough for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding flour if sticky. Wrap and rest 20 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Combine ricotta, spinach, nutmeg, Parmesan, and salt in a bowl. Stir until smooth.

  5. Step 5

    Divide dough in half. Roll one half through a pasta machine to thinnest setting.

  6. Step 6

    Place 1-tbsp filling dollops 2 inches apart on the sheet. Fold dough over, press edges, cut with a ravioli cutter or knife.

  7. Step 7

    Repeat with remaining dough. Boil in salted water until ravioli float plus 2 minutes, ~6 minutes total.

  8. Step 8

    Heat butter in a skillet over medium. Add sage leaves and cook until fragrant, ~1 minute.

  9. Step 9

    Drain ravioli gently. Toss with sage butter and serve immediately with more Parmesan.
