Instructions

1. Knead the dough ingredients into a smooth pasta dough.
2. For the filling, peel the onion and finely chop the parsley or wild garlic together. Sweat in hot oil until translucent. Briefly put the spinach leaves in hot water, rinse with cold water and allow to dry well - if necessary, squeeze it out. Then also finely chop. Soak the roll in cold water, then squeeze it out well (preferably in a larger colander) and pluck it. Mix the sausage meat or minced meat with the egg and the spices. Then add the other ingredients and mix everything well.
3. Roll out the pasta dough into a rectangle on a floured surface and cut into smaller rectangles. Spread a little of the filling over half of the rectangles, then beat the other half of the dough over it and first press lightly so that the air escapes, then press firmly. Bring to the boil in plenty of boiling salted water, then let it simmer over a low heat for approx. 20 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
4. Tip:
5. It is faster if you spread the entire filling on half of the rolled-out sheet of dough, beat the other half over it, rub it with your hands so that the air can escape. Then use a wooden spoon handle to press in lines lengthways and crossways at a distance of about 7 cm, cut these lines with a knife or pastry wheel, press the edges firmly and finish as described above. However, this method does not leave the edges completely clean.
6. Further use as desired, e.g. as a soup, seared in butter, with brown onions, turned in egg and then fried, with tomato sauce, on salad ..
