Vegetarian/ Vegan Sweet Potato and Spinach Ravioli image

I made this one night for dinner as my daughter loves Italian. So far I had just tried pasta and wanted to give her more at home Italian options and also have some veggies included. This was a great find for me:-) I used sweet potatoes and spinach instead of the standard cream cheese stuffing and it was awesome:-) So let your imagination run wild and make your own stuffings.

Time 35m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups flour, I used wheat for health reasons
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
3 tablespoons flour to rolls
1 big sweet potato
1 bunch spinach, washed and chopped fine. you may use a cup of frozen spinach too
1 clove garlic minced fine. i used garlic salt and did not add any further salt
1 teaspoon dry basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup flax seed, lightly toasted and ground fine. you may just use bread crumbs also

Steps:

  • Boil, peel and mash the sweet potatoes with the spinach. Add the basil, garlic and salt. Add the flax seed or the bread crumbs to make a good ballable stuffing!
  • If you are using the garlic salt like me do away with the fresh garlic and salt.
  • Mix the salt and flour and make a ball of dough by adding water. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
  • Take a lemon sized dough, ball it up and roll out a circle using a rolling pin. Cut them into 3 strips. Place a tablespoon of stuffing in the center of a strip, fold and seal with a fork. Remove excess dough. This should give you moon shaped raviolis. Make as much ravioli as needed in whatever shape you need. Just ensured they are firm and sealed tight.
  • In a soup pan boil water till it bubbles and drop the raviolis a couple at a time and take care not to break them. When the pieces start floating and sticky to touch its done. Ladle it carefully out on the plate.
  • Pour some butter sauce on top and serve. Its a delight at home!
