SPINACH AND CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE
This is Deee-licious and not at all difficult. A filling alternative to meat dishes. This is the "main" recipe. Please also refer to my Fresh Tomato Sauce recipe. I will also list a recipe for Homemade Pasta Sheets if you choose to go that route instead of purchasing them. *Both recipes to be published in next few days* I almost didn't post this as it's so long, but these are really fun to make and really not that hard.

Steps:
- FILLING: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Sauté spinach with garlic, shallots and olive oil.
- Chop and drain all the liquid from the spinach.
- In a bowl, place, spinach, Ricotta, Mozzarella and Provolone.
- Mix well until you get a firm texture.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- RAVIOLI:.
- Roll out dough and cut into sheets of manageable length, approximately 16 inches.
- Do not roll out too many sheets at a time or the dough will begin to dry and be difficult to handle- trust me!
- Make a row of generous teaspoons of filling, 1 inch apart, across the center of 1 pasta sheet.
- Carefully fold the sheet in half toward you, matching the horizontal edges of the dough.
- Gently press the filling down with your fingertips.
- Press the dough down between each teaspoon of filling to enclose it.
- Ttrim off the edges of the dough and cut apart the ravioli.
- Gently crimp the edges of the ravioli with a fork.
- Lay the ravioli on a lightly floured bed sheet or tea towels and let dry at least 5 minutes before cooking.
- COOK: Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and add ravioli (Very fresh pasta takes about 2 to 5 minutes to cook).
- Carefully drain the ravioli and transfer to a warm serving platter; top with tomato sauce and grated Parmesan cheese.
