Steps

  1. Sift the flour onto a board and make a depression in the center. Drop in the ½ egg and moisten with warm water to make a stiff dough.
  2. Knead until smooth, cover, and let stand 10 minutes.
  3. Roll the dough as thin as a sheet of paper with a rolling pin.
  4. Using a pastry jagger, cut the dough into strips 2¾ inches wide, as long as the rolled dough.
  5. Mix the cracker crumbs, spinach, and 1 egg. Moisten with white stock and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Place the mixture by ¾ teaspoonfuls on the lower half of each strip of dough, 2 inches apart.
  7. Fold the upper half of the dough over the lower half.
  8. Press the edges together, and press between the mounds of filling with the tips of the thumbs. Cut apart with the pastry jagger.
  9. Cook the ravioli in white stock for 10 minutes, then lift out with a skimmer.
  10. Arrange a layer on a hot serving dish, sprinkle generously with the grated Parmesan cheese, and cover with tomato sauce. Repeat to make 3 layers in all, and serve at once.
