Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Christmas Tree Cookie Cutter optional

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 3 cups (360g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • cup to ¾ cup (160ml to 180ml) warm water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ ounce (15g) fresh spinach

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons (30g) vegan cream cheese
  • 1 ounce (30g) vegan parmesan
  • 1.25 ounces (35g) fresh spinach
  • ½ cup (130g) cannellini beans
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the dough: in a blender add the spinach and 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Blend until the spinach is puréed. In a large bowl combine the flour, and salt. Mix with a spatula to combine. Form a well in the middle and add the olive oil, puréed spinach, and about a third of the water. Add the water in slowly and mix. Continue to mix and add water until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Knead the dough: Once shaggy dough is formed knead for about 5 to 7 minutes with clean hands or until a smooth dough has formed. Place in a bowl and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the filling by adding all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add more salt if needed. Pour into a bowl and chill for 10 minutes to thicken.
  • Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Work with one piece of dough at at time, cover the other pieces of dough with a dish towel so they don’t dry out.
  • Use a rolling pin or pasta machine to roll the dough out until very thin. When you hold it up you should be able to see your hands and light coming through. Carefully, fold the dough up and place on the dish with other dough. Cover with a towel. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
  • Use a Christmas tree shaped cookie cutter to cut out the trees. You will need 2 Christmas trees per raviolo. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling down the middle of the tree and then wet your finger to wet the edge of the pasta sheet. Add the other Christmas tree cut out on top and use a fork to seal together. Repeat this process until you have made all the ravioli. *please note in the past I have said the scraps cannot be used to make more ravioli however, I tried it and it worked fine. So you can re-roll the pasta scarps
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Once boiling add about 5 to 6 ravioli and boil for about 5 minutes or until they float to the top. Remove the ravioli and repeat until all ravioli are cooked.
  • To serve I used the leftover filling I had and spread it on the bottom of the plate. Add vegan parmesan on top and a bit of the leftover filing mixed with water on top.

Notes

  • If you have never made ravioli before it isn't hard but I would advise you watch the recipe video before doing it.
  • Vegan Parmesan used is from Whole Foods 365
  • Vegan Cream Cheese used is Daiya *not my favorite but works well for something like this.
