A versatile ricotta and spinach filling perfect for ravioli, tortellini, or other stuffed pastas. This classic Italian blend is creamy, flavorful, and easy to make at home.

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

Instructions

1. Place the thawed spinach in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
3. Add the squeezed spinach and stir until evenly distributed.
4. Use immediately to fill pasta, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Tips
