Spinach leaves (palak) blanched 12-15
-
Onion 2 medium
-
Olive oil 2 tablespoons

Method
Step 1
Heat water with 1-2 drops of olive oil in a deep non-stick pan. Roughly chop blanched spinach and finely chop 1 onion. Heat 2 tbsps olive oil in a non stick pan, add garlic and onion and sauté till they sweat.
Step 2
Add spinach and mix. Add salt and crushed peppercorns and cook till dry. Add oregano leaves and mix. Crumble feta cheese and add. Mix well and switch off heat. Arrange a pasta sheet on the work top.
Step 3
Place small portions of the spinach mixture keeping a little distance between each portion. With a wet brush dampen the pasta all around the spinach portions. Place another pasta sheet over and press all around each spinach portion.
Step 4
Cut around each portion with a round cutter or a square cutter and once again press the edges to ensure they are well sealed. Carefully lower them into the hot water and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and place on a flat tray.
Step 5
Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over so that they do not stick to each other. Roughly chop pine nuts and finely chop the other onion, red and yellow capsicums. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick pan, add butter, 1 tsp garlic, onion, capsicums and mix. Add the ravioli, pine nuts, fresh oregano and gently shake the pan to mix. Arrange ravioli on a serving platter, pour extra butter sauce over, garnish with fresh oregano and serve hot.
