1. 1Pile 2 cups all-purpose flour on a clean surface, create a well in the center, and add a small pinch of salt, 1-2 tablespoons oil, and 1/2 to 3/4 cup water.
2. 2Mix the ingredients with a spoon, then knead by hand into a stiff, smooth dough, and let it rest in a glass bowl for 15-20 minutes.
3. 3Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a steel pan, add 2 tablespoons minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
4. 4Stir in 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1 teaspoon chili flakes, then add 2-3 cups finely chopped spinach and cook until it wilts and releases its moisture.
5. 5Transfer the cooked spinach mixture to a bowl, add 1/2 cup cream cheese and a pinch of salt, and thoroughly combine to form a uniform filling.
6. 6Feed the rested dough through a pasta roller machine to create long, thin sheets.
7. 7Pipe the spinach-cream cheese filling in a continuous line along one side of a dough sheet, fold the other side of the dough over the filling, gently press down to seal, and cut individual crescent-shaped ravioli with a fluted wheel cutter.
8. 8Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, carefully place the raw ravioli into the boiling water, and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until they float to the surface.
9. 9Remove the cooked ravioli from the water using a slotted spoon.
10. 10In a separate non-stick pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter, add 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, and cook briefly to create a roux.
11. 11Gradually pour 1.5 to 2 cups milk into the roux while whisking continuously to prevent lumps, then add 2 cheese slices and stir until melted.
12. 12Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon chili flakes, and salt to taste to season the sauce.
13. 13Mix in 2-3 tablespoons pizza/pasta sauce, transforming the white sauce into a creamy orange color.
14. 14Transfer the cooked ravioli directly into the prepared creamy orange sauce, gently toss to coat, and drizzle with chili oil for extra flavor and visual appeal.
