Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, salt, oil and lukewarm water to form a soft dough.
  2. Let it rest for 20 minutes, covered.
  3. Cook the chard in boiling water for 5 minutes, drain and chop finely.
  4. Sauté the chopped garlic in a drizzle of oil, add the chard and let the water evaporate.
  5. Mix the cooled greens with the ricotta, Parmesan, salt and pepper.
  6. Roll the dough out very thinly into rounds about 25 cm across, then spread filling over one half, leaving a border free.
