Kamut Ravioli filled with Almond Ricotta and Spinach in Marinara sauce.

Italian cuisine is super easy to veganize and this Kamut Ravioli Marinara is one of the perfect examples. Well, Marinara sauce can be served with any pasta, such as spaghetti, penne or whatever is your favorite. However, I decided to make Kamut Ravioli filled with cashew Ricotta. It is actually quite easy, especially with the help of Ravioli press. The cashew Ricotta is also worth making, because it is a pure delight. Not to forget, it is quite unlikely that you can find vegan Ravioli like this in a supermarket. If you have, please let me know! Oh and by the way, if you make extra, you can freeze it too. I will make note about that in the recipe.

Working with Kamut flour is also quite easy, yet I mainly choose it for its nutritional value. Kamut as well as Spelt are Ancient grains that have not been hybridized. For this reason they are richer in protein, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals than modern wheat. You can read more about Kamut HERE. For those of you who prefer gluten free, you may check AUTUMN GNOCCHI or SUMMER FETTUCCINE both delicious.

By the way, I was thinking that this recipe could be also use to make Tortellini, if you are up to the challenge. I may try sometimes in the future, when I have some extra time. In any case, I would love to hear about your pasta making experience. So please let me know if you have made it from scratch yet, or you are planning to. And if you have any questions or suggestions, please CONTACT ME anytime. I wish you a wonderful week!

Notes

This Ravioli can is freezable, as long as properly sealed in a container or plastic bag. Make sure you arrange the pieces side by side, so they do not stick. If you are adding a second layer, make sure you separate it from the bottom layer with a wax paper or plastic wrap. 
To find out more about Ravioli dough press please click HERE. You can also get the smaller size if you wish to make them smaller. There are all different types on AMAZON FOR EXAMPLE THIS ONE, which I also have, but I decided to use the bigger one, since it was my first time making ravioli. However, it is really easy.
