Spelt Ravioli With Parsley and Ricotta  

Filling Recipe

For 10 servings:

Filling:
2/3 cup chopped Italian Parsley
2 1/2 cups fresh ricotta
2 cups grated parmesan cheese
Salt
2 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

A sheet of Homemade Spelt Pasta dough made with
8 eggs
4 1/2 cups spelt flour
4 Tbs milk

1. Combine all filling ingredients in a mixing bowl, combine and correct for salt and set aside.
2. Prepare the pasta dough by combining a mound of spelt flour with the 8 eggs and 4 T milk.
Continuously break in the eggs and mix in, trying to keep the mixture moist. Once all ingredients are mixed together, knead the pasta into two balls. Then use a rolling pin to flatten the balls by rolling back and forth until as thin as you can make them. Using a glass, cut circles out of the pasta sheet, and fill each circle with a teaspoon of the filling. Fold them over and press the corners together with a fork, to form the raviolis. Once all are done, boil a large pot of water.
Gently place them in and cook until tender. Strain and serve with melted butter, sage and parmesan on top.
