Ingredients
Ravioli Dough
- 2 ½ cups flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ¾ cup warm water
Ravioli Filling
- ⅔ cup vegan ricotta such as Kite Hill
- 1 cup corn fresh or frozen
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Sauce
- 3 tbsp vegan butter
- 5-6 leaves sage for garnish
- ½ cup corn fresh or frozen
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- ½ cup unsweetened plain cashew milk
- vegan Parmesan to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Filling
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add spinach, corn, garlic powder, thyme, and onion powder. Sauté until spinach is wilted and corn is soft, with no liquid left from the spinach.
- Transfer mixture to a food processor. Add vegan ricotta, salt, and pepper to taste. Pulse until combined. Set aside.
Prepare the Dough
- In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Add olive oil and warm water, kneading until a thick and elastic dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide dough into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a 1 mm thick rectangle. Place one piece over a ravioli mold, sprinkling lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Spoon 1 tsp of filling into each section of the mold. Place another piece of rolled dough on top. Seal edges by rolling a pin over the top, gently at first, then firmly.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling until all ravioli are made.
Cook the Ravioli
- Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil. Add ravioli and cook for 3 minutes or until they float. Remove and set aside.
Make the Sauce
- In a pan, melt vegan butter over medium heat.
- Add cashew milk, garlic powder, nutmeg, thyme, vegan Parmesan, corn, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add cooked ravioli to the sauce and stir until fully coated.
Notes
- Ensure ravioli edges are tightly sealed to prevent filling from leaking during cooking.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste in both filling and sauce.
- For extra flavor, use fresh herbs in the filling and sauce if available.
