To prepare this delicious spinach ravioli recipe, it is essential to start with the dough. In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs with a pinch of salt, then gradually add warm water, being careful not to overdo it, to achieve the right texture. Start incorporating the flour, a little at a time, mixing constantly. The dough should be elastic and smooth, so don't be afraid to knead well for about 10 minutes. Once you have achieved the desired consistency, wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Boil about 400 grams of fresh spinach in salted water for 3-5 minutes, then drain well and let it cool. Once cooled, chop the spinach finely. In a pan, add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté one medium chopped onion along with 2-3 crushed garlic cloves until they become slightly golden and their aroma spreads throughout the kitchen. Then add 300 grams of cooked meat (such as beef or chicken) cut into small cubes, mixing well to combine the flavors. After the meat has browned slightly, add the chopped spinach along with a tablespoon of flour to bind the filling. Add a little water and 2-3 tablespoons of tomato juice, stirring continuously to achieve a homogeneous mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and if desired, a pinch of dried basil for extra flavor. Let the filling simmer on low heat for a few minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool. After the dough has chilled, roll it out on a floured surface to obtain a thin sheet. Cut the dough into equal rectangles, about 8x10 cm. Place a spoonful of the spinach filling in the center of each rectangle, then brush the edges with a little water to stick well. Fold the dough, forming a semicircle or square, and press the edges with a fork to seal the ravioli. Heat a large pan with a little oil and add a few tablespoons of tomato sauce seasoned with salt and pepper. Place the ravioli in the pan, covering them with the tomato sauce, and let them cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, carefully turning them to brown evenly. Serve the ravioli warm, garnished with fresh herbs, and enjoy a delicious, flavorful dish!
