Ingredients:

1 tsp

Olive Oil

2

Eggs

1

Salt

1 clove

Garlic (minced)

3 tbsps

Butter

Directions:

1

Whisk together 1 teaspoon olive oil, water, and whole eggs in a bowl until evenly blended; set aside

2

Combine flour and salt in a separate large bowl, and make a well in the center

3

Pour the egg mixture into the well and stir just until combined

4

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes, adding more flour or water as needed

5

Wrap dough tightly with plastic wrap, and set aside to rest

6

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat

7

Stir in the garlic and onion; cook and stir until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes

8

Add the mushrooms, and continue cooking and stirring until the vegetables are soft and the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes

9

Remove from heat, and allow to cool

10

Beat cream cheese in a bowl until smooth

11

Stir in the cooled mushroom mixture, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, spinach, 1 tablespoon chives, parsley, and cayenne pepper

12

Season with salt and pepper

13

Roll the pasta dough out to about 1/16 inch thick

14

Cut 3 to 4-inch circles using a large cookie cutter

15

Roll each circle out as thin as possible

16

Working with one circle at a time, brush the pasta lightly with the egg white

17

Scoop about 1 heaping tablespoon full of the mushroom filling onto the center of the pasta, then cover with a second piece of pasta, pinching the edges to seal

18

Cut the sealed ravioli with the cookie cutter once more to create a uniform shape

19

Place the finished ravioli on a floured baking sheet, and repeat the process with the remaining pasta and filling

20

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat

21

Once the water is boiling, stir in the ravioli and return to a boil

22

Cook until the pasta floats to the top, 3 to 4 minutes; drain

23

To make sauce: Melt butter in a skillet over high heat, cooking and stirring until browned, 5 to 7 minutes

24

Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons chives

25
