This recipe uses our Fresh Homemade Pasta dough for a wholesome base that’s safe for those with Hereditary Fructose Intolerance.

Ingredients

1 batch Fresh Homemade Pasta
½ cup English spinach (finely chopped, stalks and veins removed to lower fructose content)
100 g HFI-safe feta cheese (crumbled)
1 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper to taste

HFI-Friendly Creamy Sauce Pairing

½ cup HFI-safe cream
20 g parmesan (grated)
1 tsp HFI-safe butter
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare your pasta dough as per the Fresh Homemade Pasta Recipe. Roll out thinly and cut into your desired ravioli shapes.
Carefully remove the stalks and veins from the spinach leaves, then finely chop.
Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the spinach until just wilted (or heated through if using pre-chopped frozen spinach). Allow to cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine sautéed spinach, crumbled feta, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Place small teaspoons of the filling in the centre of your pasta shapes.
Fold over and press edges firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges on both sides to secure.
Cook ravioli in a large pot of salted boiling water with a splash of olive oil. The ravioli will float when cooked — approx. 3–5 minutes.

HFI-Friendly Creamy Sauce Pairing

In a small saucepan, gently heat the cream and butter over low heat.
Stir in the parmesan until melted and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Pour over freshly cooked ravioli just before serving.

Notes

Always roll your pasta dough thinly for the best texture.

Avoid overfilling your ravioli to help prevent them from bursting while cooking.
