Ravioli + Duck
Duck
In a saucepan with immering water, submerge the duck leg still in it's bag, to heat it up nice and slowly and it will make it easier to pull after at least 30 minutes in the water. Do this with your thumb or the back of a pairing knife, it will remove the flesh way easier. The you can pull it with a fork or your fingers.
In a pan with a bit of hot oil, sauté the minced onion, season with salt, a cook until lightly colored. Then add the pulled duck and the garlic and cook for only 30 seconds.
Mince the sage leaves and add them to the previous mixture, let everything rest in a bowl, in the fridge.
Raviolis
Prepare a small bowl with flour and water, to help stick the dough disks later on.
In the center of your disks, add the cold duck mixture. All around the disks, add a touch of your water and flour mixture, close the ravioli with another disk of dough, close properly with your ingers, nice and firmly.
Prepare a sucepan with simmering salted water, put in your raviolis and cook them for about 4 minutes or until they start floating.
With your hand strainer, gently take out the raviolis and place them on a clean rag, we will heta them up in the sauce later on.

Baby spinach
Peel and finely chisel the french shallot.
In the pan you used for the duck, sauté the shallot, then add the baby spinach with a bit of butter, salt. Once the spinach has softened up, let them rest on a plate.

Parmesan cream
In a pan on low heat, melt the butter, then add the cream and the parmesan.
Let the sauce reduce for about 7 minutes, mixing sometimes.
Salt and pepper, not too much salt because of the parmesan. Keep the sauce on the lowest heat setting. Once ready to serve, add a nice ladel of the ravioli's cooking water and keep cooking on low heat.
