Sorrentinos

Indulge in the comforting flavors of Sorrentinos, a delightful Italian dish filled with creamy ricotta and fresh spinach, all enveloped in tender pasta. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special gathering with loved ones.

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 1 cup spinach
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and eggs. Knead until a smooth dough forms. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   In another bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, and grated parmesan until well combined.

3. 3

   Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface until thin, about 1/16 inch thick.

4. 4

   Cut the dough into circles, using a cookie cutter or a glass. Place a tablespoon of the ricotta mixture in the center of half of the circles.

5. 5

   Moisten the edges of the dough circles with water, then place another circle on top and press to seal. Ensure there are no air pockets.

6. 6

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the sorrentinos and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the top.

7. 7

   In a skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the tomato sauce for a few minutes, then serve over the cooked sorrentinos.
