Ingredients:
- 4 scoops Ensure neutral powder
- 1 pack 50 dumpling wrappers
- 300g fresh ricotta cheese

- Line an oven tray with baking paper.
- In a large bowl mix the ricotta and parmesan cheese, eggs, Ensure neutral powder, nutmeg, parsley and spinach.
- Lay out some of the dumpling wrappers.
- Spoon a heaped teaspoon amount of the mixture onto the dumpling wrapper. Brush the edges with water.
- Fold over and pinch together to form the ravioli. Place on the tray
- Continue until all dumping wrappers are filled.
- Bring a pot of water to the boil. Drop in the dumplings around 10 at a time, not overcrowding the pot to avoid dumplings sticking together.
- Boil for around 5minutes until the ravioli come to the surface. Spoon out into serving bowls and cook the rest in batches.
- If serving with the sage and butter sauce prepare the sauce, if not top with a tomato based pasta sauce.
