Cut pasta dough in 1/2. Roll out both halves thinly. Pipe out 40 evenly spaced mounds of spinach mixture onto 1 sheet of dough. Lightly brush dough with water and place second sheet over top. Press down firmly. Use a pastry wheel to cut between filling to form 40 ravioli.
Working in batches, cook ravioli in boiling salted water for 7 mins. Heat remaining butter until lightly browned. Add pasta and toss to combine. Season. Sprinkle with chives and Parmesan.
