Naked Ravioli

Chow Ciao

Fabio whips up a unique dish from his childhood that marries spinach and creamy ricotta for a super simple, gorgeous naked ravioli served with brown butter sage sauce.

Tips:

  • Spinach 101: Chef's secret: Remember The Ratio -- one pound of raw spinach cooks down to one cup.

  • Spinach can grow in almost any condition. Choose fresh if possible. Frozen spinach can be unreliable in quality and taste.

  • Naked Ravioli means ravioli without its pasta blanket. In fewer than 5 ingredients and 20 minutes you can whip up a super easy, quick recipe that's a sneaky way to get your kids (or anyone) to eat spinach.
