Ingredients

4 cup Sifted flour
1/2 Teapoon Salt
5 Eggs
1/4 cup (625 ml) warm water

Directions

1
Prepare the filling by combining 2 cups of chopped cooked chicken, 1 egg, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon minced parsley, and 1 cup chopped cooked spinach in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
2
Sift the flour onto a large pastry board or clean work surface.
3
Make a well in the center of the flour mound and add the salt, eggs, and warm water into the well.
4
Using a fork, gently beat the eggs and water, gradually incorporating the surrounding flour until a shaggy dough forms.
5
Knead the dough vigorously for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky.
6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes to relax the gluten.
7
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Keep the unused portions covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying.
8
Roll out one portion of dough on a floured surface until it is paper-thin, approximately 1/8 inch (3mm) thick.
9
Cut the rolled dough into 2-inch (5cm) squares or rounds using a knife or pastry cutter.
10
Place a small teaspoon of the chicken filling in the center of half of the dough pieces.
11
Brush the edges of the filled pieces with water, then cover them with the remaining dough pieces.
12
Press the edges firmly to seal, removing any air pockets. Use a fork to crimp the edges securely.
13
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently drop the ravioli into the water.
14
Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender.
15
Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with your choice of sauce.
