Vegan Spinach Ravioli With Roast Pumpkin
Method
Step 1:
For the pasta mix, place the White Wings Plain Flour, salt and Simply Vegetable Oil in a food processor. As a replacement for eggs, juice spinach leaves. This substitutes the liquid content that eggs would bring to the mixture. Take the mixture out of the machine and knead it by hand for two minutes on a floured bench, then wrap in cling film and leave on the side for an hour to allow the dough to rest.

Step 2:
Once it has rested, slice the dough into portions, then flatten it and place it through a pasta machine until it becomes really thin. Each time you place the dough through the machine, go down a notch – this ensures it thins out during the process.
Step 3:
To make the stuffing, combine the roasted pumpkin, turmeric powder, salt, pepper, sage leaves and White Wings Cornflour in a food processor and mix until it becomes smooth.
Step 4:
Lay the pasta sheets across the bench and place spoonfuls of mixture along, leaving three centimetres between them. Top the stuffing with pine nuts for texture and a dollop of almond cheese. To keep the dish vegan, use water to help seel the pasta. Press down between all the spaces and make sure there are no air bubbles. Place the pasta to the side to dry for a little while before cooking.
Step 5:
After soaking the cashew nuts in the water for two hours, place them in a blender with salt and nutritional yeast – blend until it forms a thick, cream-like consistency. Then, pour the mixture into a pan on a low heat to create a sauce.
Step 6:
Place a pot of salted water on the stovetop. Once it begins to boil, cook the ravioli for about five minutes to ensure the pasta sheets are cooked and not too chewy. Drain the pasta and place on a bed of the cashew cream sauce in a bowl. Top with toasted pine nuts and crispy sage leaves.

WHAT IS A RECIPE CALCULATOR?
A recipe calculator works out what a dish costs to make and what it needs to sell for to turn a profit. Some tools under that name are really a recipe converter, turning ounces and teaspoons into metric, or a recipe multiplier that scales quantities up or down, or a nutrition calculator returning the energy and carbohydrate count per serve. Ours is a recipe cost calculator. Enter your ingredient costs and servings, and you get a total cost, a cost per serve, and the margin behind your selling price.
HOW TO USE OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR
Enter your recipe name, method and serving size, and the number of servings the recipe makes.
Select “+ Add Ingredient” to build your ingredient list, then enter the quantity purchased and cost of goods for each item.
Enter the quantity your recipe actually uses for each ingredient, in grams, millilitres or each.
Select Calculate to see your total cost across the batch, plus the same figure with GST added and your cost per serve. This is where the calculator divides your total batch cost by your number of servings, converting it into a cost per portion.
Enter a Selling Price per serve to see your Food Gross Profit, Food Markup percentage and Total Generated Profit.
WHY FOODSERVICE BUSINESSES USE OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR
Cafes and quick service kitchens change their menus often, and costing a new dish properly before it launches matters more than costing it quickly. Catering and events businesses price the same recipe at different scales throughout the year, a function for ten one week and an event for two hundred the next. Enter the servings for each job, and the calculator handles that recipe scaling without you reworking your ingredient list from scratch.
Bakeries producing large batches need to know the per-unit cost still holds as bakery ingredient prices shift. Contract caterers working to a fixed per-meal budget, such as aged care or education providers, can check a recipe against that budget before it goes into a wider meal planner or seasonal menu.
Across all of these, the value is the same. You get a cost per serve and a margin you can trust, built from your actual supplier pricing rather than an estimate.
Browse our recipes for menu inspiration, then cost them here before you commit to a price.
WHAT MAKES OUR RECIPE CALCULATOR DIFFERENT
Most recipe cost calculators are standalone software with no link to where you actually buy. Ours sits within Goodman Fielder Food Service, a foodservice supplier. Once you’ve priced a recipe and know your numbers, you’re already talking to the team that supplies the ingredients themselves. If a margin looks tighter than expected, that’s a conversation about ingredient pricing you can have straight away.
