Grana padano is a less expensive alternative with a similar flavor.

spinach

🥗Healthier: kale

Frozen spinach is often cheaper and just as nutritious.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Margarine can be a cost-effective substitute for butter.

Combine 1.5 cups double zero flour and 0.5 cups semolina flour in a bowl.

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.

Add 6 egg yolks, 2 whole eggs, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 tablespoon warm water into the well.

Whisk the wet ingredients together with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides of the well.

Knead the dough by hand until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-8 minutes.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups whole milk ricotta, 1 ounce pecorino romano cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest to make the filling.
