- 3–4 tbsp water
For the dough
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)

- ¾ cup warm water (about 110°f / 43°c)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
For the filling
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ lb italian sausage, casings removed
- 3 cups baby spinach
- ½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about scant 1/4 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.

For assembly
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp flaky salt
Instructions
- 1
Place the cashews in a small bowl, cover with boiling water, and soak for 30 minutes, then drain and rinse.
- 2
In a blender or food processor, combine the drained cashews, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and 3 tbsp water. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed, adding the remaining 1 tbsp water if the mixture is too thick to blend. The ricotta should be thick and spreadable, similar in texture to whole-milk ricotta. Set aside.
