Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil

Garlic

1 package of ground meat

Italian seasoning

Onion

Fresh or frozen spinach

Salt

Pepper

1 dozen eggs

Flour

Preparation:

Prepare the filling and let cool.

Directions as follows:

Place about a Tbsp. of olive oil in a large pan. Add a few pressed or a few tsp. of garlic in and sautee until brown. Add a package of ground hamburger, Italian seasoning, onions, fresh or frozen spinach, and salt and pepper. Cook until the meat is browned.

Prepare the pasta dough.

Directions as follows:

Place a dozen eggs in a large mixing bowl and beat for about 3-5 minutes. Add flour gradually until the dough is able to be turned out onto a floured surface and kneaded. Knead for a few minutes adding flour if needed until the dough is not sticky any more. Don’t over knead or dough becomes tough. Actually, if it’s still a little sticky, it’s ok because the pasta machine kneads it while it presses it. Cut the dough into pieces small enough to be put into the machine and set it on the widest setting. Put the dough through and gradually set the machine on smaller settings until it reaches the density you want. I usually put it on 3, I think. Place the dough onto a floured surface and start filling from one end folding the edge over the filling crop the ravioli and crimp it with a fork. Boil the immediately or let them dry and then boil or freeze.
