Tortellini with Spinach and Ricotta

Today at Come Dine With Us we made Tortellini which was stuffed with ricotta and spinach.

Here are the ingredients:

Fresh pasta sheets

200g Spinach

200g Ricotta

30g Grated Parmesan

salt and Pepper

Firstly mix the ricotta, parmesan, salt and pepper and mix until smooth.

Then cook the spinach in a saucepan for a couple of minutes and add to the ricotta mix.

Then make small parcels by putting some of the ricotta and spinach on a pasta sheet and folding it and sealing around the edges with a fork.

We then put the parcels in a glass tray and poured a sage butter over them, simply made by melting butter and adding sage and pepper.

We then covered in foil and put in the oven at 180 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

Winter Salad 

We also made a wonderful winter salad with the following ingredients:

Red onion

Green cabbage

Grated carrots

Radish

Beetroot

Mange Tout

Spinach

All these were thinly sliced and put in a bowl.

We then made a dressing using:

Olive oil

Red wine vinegar

Two Garlic Cloves (crushed)

Dijon Mustard

Salt and Pepper

We mixed together all these ingredients to make the salad.

Here is the finished Tortellini with a winter salad.

The group really enjoyed the meal because of the interesting textures and flavors. 

This is a great meal on a busy day because it is quick but incredibly tasty and healthy.
