How to Make Stew with Potato and Spinach Pasta Cushions (Stepwise Photos)

Method

  1. To make the dough take refined flour in a mixing bowl, add egg, 1 tbsp olive oil and salt and mix well. Add sufficient water and knead into a dough. Cover and set aside.
  2. To make stew, heat oil in a non-stick pan, add garlic, onion and celery, mix and saute on low heat for 5 minutes.
  3. Add chopped tomatoes, tomato puree and mixed herbs and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes and add sea salt and mix.
  4. Add carrots and cauliflower and mix well. Add 2 cups of water and mix. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, add lemon juice and parsley and mix. Set aside.
  5. To make stuffing take mashed potatoes, butter, salt, nutmeg powder and spinach in a bowl and mix well. (You can add ½ cup cheese as well)
  6. Dust some dry flour on the worktop, place the dough on it and roll out into a rectangular sheet. Cut into 2 long equal halves. Mark 3 inch pieces on the sheet cut. Place some spinach-potato
  7. Apply some water along the edges of every piece, fold and press the edges to seal and make pasta cushions.
  8. Press the edges with a fork to make a design. Place the cushions on a floured plate. (You may refrigerate these cushions and cook them just before serving as well.)
