Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Fresh spinach
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 minced Garlic clove
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh basil

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt. Make a well in the center and add the eggs, olive oil, and water. Mix with a fork gradually incorporating the dry ingredients into the wet until a dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 3

While the dough rests, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, washed and chopped fresh spinach, and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/16-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch squares. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square.

Step 5

Brush the edges of the dough with water, fold over to form a triangle, and press edges to seal. Make sure no air is trapped inside.

Step 6

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Step 7

Meanwhile, for the cream sauce, melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Season with black pepper and let the sauce reduce slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in chopped basil and remove from heat.

Step 9

Cook the ravioli in boiling water for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

Step 10

Serve the ravioli on plates topped with the creamy sauce and extra Parmesan if desired.
