Ingredients:

5 Medium Tomatoes

½ Cup Tomato Puree

½ Cup Fresh Cream

1 tsp Garlic (minced)

1 tbsp Onion (finely Chopped)
1 cup flour

½ Cup Semolina
1 egg
2 tbsp olive oil

1 Cup fresh spinach

1 Cup Cheese (grated)

5-6 Fresh Basil Leaves

½ tsp Oregano

¼ tsp Red Chilly flakes

Parmesan Cheese for Garnish

Method:

Blanch the spinach with pinch of salt. Squeeze out water and chop it. In a bowl place the cooked spinach along with ½ cup grated cheese. Combine the mixture very lightly. Take the flour & semolina to that add pinch of salt, 1 tbsp olive oil and egg and mix. Knead soft dough with water. Cover the dough, and let it sit for 20 minutes. Roll the dough into a thin sheet on a floured surface. Cut the dough into 3 x 3 inch squares. Place the filling 1 tsp at a time into the center of the square. Cover each square with a second piece of ravioli dough and pinch the ends together to seal the ravioli. Boil the water. Place the ravioli into the water and cook until the dough is tender and the ravioli floats to the surface. Drain the ravioli and keep aside. Blanch the tomatoes. Drain and peel the tomatoes. Make halves and remove seeds and roughly chop them. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and fry for 2 minutes stir occasionally. To this add the roughly chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, red chilly flakes, and sugar and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cook until the sauce thickens. Add fresh cream, basil leaves and season with salt and oregano. Remove from heat. Arrange Ravioli in serving plate and pour the sauce over it. Garnish with grated parmesan.
