Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¾ cup water
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
• ½ pound ground chicken
• 1 (16 ounce) jar marinara sauce
• ¾ cup chopped fresh spinach
• 3 ¾ cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons freshly grated Asiago cheese
• ¼ cup freshly grated Asiago cheese for topping

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until evenly brown; drain.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Place the marinara sauce in a saucepan, and cook until heated through. Serve ravioli topped with marinara sauce and remaining Asiago cheese.
