Chicken And Spinach Ravioli - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 eggs, beaten
    3/4 cup water
    3 3/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1/2 pound ground chicken
    3/4 cup chopped fresh spinach
    2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
    3 tablespoons melted butter
    3 tablespoons freshly grated Asiago cheese
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1 pinch ground black pepper to taste
    1 (16 ounce) jar marinara sauce
    1/4 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese for topping
Preparation
    In a bowl, mix the eggs, water, 2 cups flour, and salt. Gradually mix in the remaining flour until smooth. Divide dough into 2 parts. Cover, and set aside in the refrigerator 20 minutes.
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken until evenly brown; drain.
    In a food processor, mix the chicken, spinach, and onion. Transfer to a bowl, and mix with butter, 3 tablespoons Asiago cheese, salt, garlic powder, nutmeg, and pepper.
    On a lightly floured surface, roll out each part of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2 inch squares. Place about 1 teaspoon of the chicken mixture in the center of 1/2 the squares, and top with remaining squares. Seal the edges of the squares with a moistened fork to form the ravioli.
    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, and cook the ravioli in small batches for about 8 minutes, or until al dente. Drain, and rinse under cold water.
    Place the marinara sauce in a saucepan, and cook until heated through. Serve ravioli topped with marinara sauce and remaining Asiago cheese.
