Instructions
 

Pasta:

  • Create a flour well, break in the egg and add the milk. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap, or bowl, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll the dough out thinly and cut into desired shapes for the ravioli.

Chicken Filling:

  • In a pan, sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant.
  • Add the shredded chicken (or blend afterwards) and spinach and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Cook for a few minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through.
  • Let the filling cool slightly before using.

Assembly:

  • Place a small amount of chicken filling on each piece of pasta.
  • Cover with another piece of pasta and seal the edges with a bit of water.
  • Cook the ravioli in salted boiling water until they float to the top (about 3-4 minutes).

Sauce:

  • Heat the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the sundried tomatoes and oil, stirring well.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and umami spice if using.
  • Let the sauce simmer until it thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

To serve:

  • Remove the cooked ravioli from the pot and place them in the sauce.
  • Stir gently to ensure each piece of ravioli is coated with the sauce.
  • Serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, and enjoy this romantic and flavorful dish.

Notes

Tips:
  • If you don't want to make fresh pasta, you can use store-bought pasta.
  • Add fresh basil for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have a pasta machine you can roll the pasta out with a rolling pin.
