Ravioli With Chicken And Spinach Food

CHICKEN AND SPINACH RAVIOLI

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the eggs, water, 2 cups flour, and salt. Gradually mix in the remaining flour until smooth. Divide dough into 2 parts. Cover, and set aside in the refrigerator 20 minutes.
• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until evenly brown; drain.
• In a food processor, mix the chicken, spinach, and onion. Transfer to a bowl, and mix with butter, 3 tablespoons Asiago cheese, salt, garlic powder, nutmeg, and pepper.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out each part of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2 inch squares. Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of 1/2 the squares, and top with remaining squares. Seal the edges of the squares with a moistened fork to form the ravioli.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, and cook the ravioli in small batches for about 8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, and rinse under cold water.
• Place the marinara sauce in a saucepan, and cook until heated through. Serve ravioli topped with marinara sauce and remaining Asiago cheese.

CREAMY CHICKEN WITH RAVIOLI AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salty water to a boil.
• Heat a large skillet with a few tablespoons of olive oil and fry the onion until softened for about 5 minutes. Add the crushed garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds. Add a knob of butter and when it's bubbling, add the chicken and fry until golden.
• Add the flour and cook for about a minute or two then add the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping any bits that got stuck on the pan. Add the stock in 2 parts and cook until the sauce has thickened (about 3 minutes).
• Add the cream, Dijon mustard and chopped tomato and season with salt and a generous few grinds of black pepper. Allow the sauce to cook for a minute or two then add the chopped basil. Once that's in, add the spinach and stir through to wilt.
• Start cooking your ravioli by dropping each piece individually in the boiling water to ensure the pasta stays separated. It will take about 3 minutes to cook if it is fresh. I highly recommend timing the cooking of the pasta once the sauce has been made so that it can be added directly to the pan after it has been drained. It's ok if a little of the pasta water carries into the pan.
• Stir gently to combine and serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan.

CHICKEN AND SPINACH RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the spinach and let cool for several minutes. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop it. Then, set aside.
• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Salt the water to taste.
• Combine the diced chicken, ricotta, Parmesan and 1 egg in a medium bowl. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped spinach until it's thoroughly combined.
• Lay the wonton wrappers on a dry, flat surface. Spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 g) of the filling onto the center of each wrapper. Using a pastry brush, brush the other beaten egg onto the exposed surface of the wonton wrapper, around the filling. Use the egg sparingly-one egg is MORE than enough for the job.
• Lay another wrapper on top of the exposed filling. Starting at the center, gently press the top wrapper around the base of the filling, smoothing out to the edges of the wrapper. Be sure to eliminate any air bubbles. Repeat until all filling or wrappers have been used.
• Drop four or five ravioli at a time into the salted boiling water. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes before removing with a slotted spoon.
• Serve with your favorite pasta sauce or olive oil and Parmesan cheese.
