Ingredients

4
- For the pasta
- 3.333 cups clean ""00"" flour
- 4 eggs
- 8 cups wilted Spinach (squeezed dry and cooled)
Preparation steps
1.
Make the pasta: Place the flour in a bowl and make a well in the centre.
2.
Crack the eggs into the well and add the spinach.
3.
Using a fork, beat the eggs until amalgamated, then draw in the flour a little at a time until the dough comes together.
4.
Remove the dough from the bowl and knead with your hands for 5 minutes or so until smooth and elastic. Cover with clingfilm and rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
5.
Meanwhile make the filling: Heat the butter in a pan and sweat the onion without colouring. Stir into the ricotta with the salmon and season. Leave to cool.
6.
Remove the pasta from the fridge. Using a pasta machine, roll out the dough into one even sheet. Cut into 10cm squares.
7.
Lay on a floured surface and place a heaped tsp of filling in the middle of each square. Moisten the edges with a little water then fold one corner over to make a triangle.
8.
Place on a flour-dusted tray covered with a damp cloth when done. They will keep for about 3 hours like this.
9.
To cook bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove carefully with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
10.
Gently warm the cream with a little seasoning and the dill and serve over the pasta.
