The whole time, I kept thinking about how much I really don't enjoy alfredo (stay with me, there's a happy ending here).
The trouble is, and I wish I could say this and make you truly believe-slash-understand this like I do, alfredo is not alfredo when it's spicy alfredo.
It is, quite literally, a completely new and revolutionary sauce. Scratch that, a new dinner completely.
Yes, I'm dramatic. Thanks for noticing.
But in all seriousness, this kind of sauce actually makes me want alfredo. So much so that I actually paired it with a ravioli filled with more cheese.
And then I'm going to pray that the surgeon doing my triple bypass surgery really looks like McDreamy. Or better yet, Jackson Avery. (Sidebar: Was anybody else super saddened by the depressing, if not completely unrealistic, tragedy that was the Grey's Anatomy finale? RIP Mark/Lexi Storyline)
Mmmmmm.
I love spinach ravioli, but I very seldom eat it because of the alfredo. Or, if I do, I will bathe them in a garlic butter sauce. This time, though, I was armed with my new favorite sauce.
It worked out so much better than I could have even anticipated. The combination of light and pillowy ravioli with a deep, rich sauce with a definite kick is awe-inspiring.
I'm definitely on the hunt for more recipes needing a spicy cream sauce.
Spanakopita Ravioli with Spicy Alfredo
2 roll of ravioli dough
1 batch of Rattlesnake Alfredo
Ravioli Filling:
4 cups spinach
1 cup shallots, finely diced
2 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup feta cheese
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 tbsp dill
1 tbsp dried mint
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 eggs
For the filling, combine all of the ingredients together in a large bowl.
Dollop 1 tbsp amounts onto one roll of ravioli dough. Apply the second roll on top. Cut the ravioli dough into squares.
Drop the ravioli into boiling water. Once they float to the top of the water, remove them and set them on a plate.
Top with the alfredo sauce. Garnish with feta cheese and minced jalapenos if desired.
