Homemade Ravioli Pizza Bites
Pizza rolls are the perfect throwback to your childhood, and while they're certainly delicious, you've probably developed a more refined palate in your adult years. Or even if you haven't, it's hard to say no to stuffed pasta. So if you're looking to branch out and find a middle ground between after-school snacks, party finger foods, and fancy dinner options, give this homemade ravioli a try!
Ingredients
- 10 oz ground meat for meat version
- 2.75 oz bacon for meat version
- 0.5 onion diced, for meat version
- 1 egg yolk for meat version
- 1 tbsp tomato purée for meat version
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley for meat version
- 12.33 oz spinach for vegetarian version
- 3.5 oz ricotta for vegetarian version
- 3.25 oz parmesan for vegetarian version
- 1 egg yolk for vegetarian version
- 1 garlic clove chopped, for vegetarian version
- 4 oz flour for ravioli dough
- 4 oz durum wheat for ravioli dough
- 2 eggs for ravioli dough
- 1 egg yolk for ravioli dough
- 1 tbsp olive oil for ravioli dough
- 0.5 tsp salt for ravioli dough
Instructions
- Heat some oil and brown the ground meat and bacon. Add and cook the diced onions. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the egg yolk, tomato purée, parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat the oil and cook the diced onions and chopped garlic. Add the spinach to the pan and let it cook before transferring the mixture to a bowl. Add the ricotta, parmesan, egg yolk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and mix well. Set aside.
- Knead all the ingredients until they form a dough. Shape the dough into a ball and cut it in half.
- Roll out both halves on a floured work surface into a wide strip that will completely cover your ice cube tray. Lay a strip of dough on top of the ice cube tray and gently press the dough into each container.
- Fill half of the ice cube tray containers with the meat version, and the other half with the spinach version. Brush the edges of the dough with an egg wash and cover with the second strip of dough. Smooth the top layer of dough out and trim off the excess pieces of dough on the sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove the chilled dough from the ice cube tray and place on a floured surface. Divide the ravioli sections with a dough cutter or knife. Cook the ravioli in salted water and serve with tomato sauce.
