Pasta comes in many forms, each amazing in its own way, but there's something about ravioli that just stands out from the rest. Undoubtedly, the filling deserves the most credit. Nothing compares to the heavenly feeling of biting into the pillowy soft pasta and tasting the filling as it spreads over your taste buds.
It gets even better when the stuffing takes on the wonder of a spinach artichoke dip . Does this sound a little unusual? Perhaps, but that's the beauty of this pairing — it's a different and refreshing take on ravioli that's sure to impress. Spinach artichoke dip has a creaminess that resembles a traditional spinach and ricotta filling.
You can even incorporate ingredients from both dishes to mix the familiar and brand-new elements. The main highlight in this version, however, lies in the vegetables. Spinach is earthy and mildly sweet, while artichoke offers a distinctive nuttiness.
Coming together over the cheesy backdrop, they bring a versatile blend of flavors that takes your ravioli to the next level. How to incorporate this dip into your ravioli A typical spinach artichoke dip consists of spinach, artichokes, garlic, cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, and seasonings. Parmesan, Romano, and mozzarella are often used but you can also reach for ricotta — a ravioli specialty to tie in nicely with the original recipe (as we did here with our homemade ricotta cheese and spinach ravioli recipe ).
Normally, the dip doesn't include eggs, but for the ravioli.
