Green Pea Ravioli With Truffle Butter Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, cook the pancetta in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, turning, until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and wipe out the skillet.
• Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain gently.
• Combine the butter and lemon zest and juice in the reserved skillet over medium heat. Add the peas, ravioli and 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking water; toss to coat. Stir in the pecorino and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Add more cooking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to loosen.
• Divide the ravioli, peas and any sauce among shallow bowls. Sprinkle with more pecorino. Crumble the pancetta and scatter over the ravioli. Top with basil.

Steps:

• Force peas through the fine disk of a food mill into a bowl to remove skins.
• Cook shallot in oil in a small skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from heat and stir into pea puree with cheese and crumbs. Season filling with salt and pepper.
• Fill ravioli with a level teaspoon of filling in each. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a dry kitchen towel. Ravioli may be made up to this point 1 day ahead, covered and refrigerated or they can be frozen.
• To make the sauce: Simmer the vinegar and wine over medium heat and reduce until it forms a light syrup (watch carefully toward the end as it tends to burn). Add the cream and reduce heat to low. Whisk in butter pieces one at a time, until emulsified. Add truffle oil, if using. Salt to taste. Set aside and keep warm until ravioli are cooked.
• Cook ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes, then drain. Toss with sauce then serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make the filling: Strip leaves away from chard, and dice the stems into 1/2-inch pieces. Set a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil. When oil shimmers, add the onion, diced chard stems, and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12 to 14 minutes, until onions are tender and lightly golden.
• In the meantime, slice the chard leaves into 1-inch pieces. When the onions are tender, add the chard leaves to the onions, and cook, using tongs to turn the chard until it wilts. Season with salt. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 9 to 10 minutes, until the chard is tender and sweet. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Scrape chard into the bowl of a food processor, and add ricotta, Parmesan and nutmeg. Pulse to combine, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, until the chard is evenly, finely chopped. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Make the pasta: Set a large pot filled with 5 quarts of water over high heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Add 6 tablespoons fine sea salt or 1/2 cup Diamond Crystal kosher salt.
• Place a sheet of pasta on your workspace and dust off any excess flour. Fold the sheet in half lengthwise to create a crease and unfold. Spoon tablespoonfuls of filling horizontally along the center of the pasta sheet, about an inch and a half apart.
• Using a spray bottle or damp pastry brush, very lightly moisten the entire strip. Lift the top edge of the pasta sheet and fold it down to meet the bottom edge, letting it drape loosely over the filling.
• Starting on one end, squeeze out air bubbles by pressing the dough around the filling with dry fingers (but don't press on the filling itself). Work toward other end. Press on the edges to seal completely.
• Using a fluted pasta cutter or a knife, trim the unfolded edges of the pasta, then cut between the mounds of filling to form the ravioli.
• Toss lightly with semolina flour, then lay out in a single layer on the second prepared baking sheet. Cover with a piece of parchment paper.
• Drop 32 ravioli into water and stir, keeping an eye on them. They should cook in about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Make the sauce while the pasta cooks: Set a large frying pan with curved edges over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons pasta water. (The starch in the pasta water helps this emulsion stay together.)
• Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and add butter a piece or two at a time while continuously swirling the pan.
• Keep swirling the pan until the butter melts and the sauce begins to thicken. Remove from heat and add Parmesan, black pepper, and salt. Swirl to combine, then taste and adjust salt as needed.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add pears and thyme; cook, stirring often, until pears have softened, about 10 minutes. Crumble Gorgonzola cheese over pears; cook and stir until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and cool filling completely.
• Cut pasta dough into 3 equal pieces. Flatten the first piece of dough on a floured work surface; roll with a rolling pin 5 or 6 times. Turn the dough 45 degrees and roll again, 5 to 6 times. Keep rolling and turning in the same direction until dough has a consistent thickness of about 1/16-inch. Repeat with remaining 2 pieces of pasta dough.
• Gently transfer 1 pasta sheet to a floured surface and cut in half to form 2 evenly sized rectangles. Drop about 1 teaspoon filling onto 1 rectangle, spacing the filling about 1-inch apart. Brush the spaces around the filling with water.
• Lay the second rectangle on top of the first. Gently squeeze out the air around the filling and press firmly with your hands to seal the edges and all dough around the filling.
• Cut square ravioli shapes using a ravioli cutter. Transfer the ravioli to a floured plate or board. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Let the ravioli stand for about 30 minutes.
• Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to the boil; gently add ravioli, working in batches. Cook until ravioli float to the top, about 3 minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon and transfer to a warm bowl.

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a pot together and bring to a boil.
• Cook uncovered for 3-5 minutes, until the peas have turned tender. Fresh peas won't take long; if you're using REALLY frozen ones like I did you might at least 6-7 minutes.
• Puree in a blender or food processor until totally smooth; it will be a thin sauce. Can be eaten right away or chilled for future use. Keeps for about a week, but freezes well.

Steps:

• Combine filling ingredients in a food processor, seasoning to taste.
• Fill each wonton wrapper with 1 heaping teaspoon of filling.
• Brush the edge of the wonton wrapper with water, fold over the wonton to meet corners, and seal the edges shut, pressing out the air as best you can.
• Repeat with all of the wonton wrappers and filling, keeping the assembled pieces covered with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and drop 5-8 ravioli pieces in the boiling water at a time, cooking for 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
• Serve and drizzle with olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt, pepper and parmesan.

Steps:

• Ravioli: Stir together both cheeses, oil, and lemon zest in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• On a floured work surface, roll out one square of the rested pasta dough to an approximately 16-inch square. Using a ruler and bench scraper or knife, lightly score a 12-inch square in center of dough, then score that 12-inch square at 4-inch intervals in both directions, to form a 3-by-3 grid of nine 4-inch squares. (Do not cut dough all the way through.)
• Spoon a scant 1/4 cup ricotta mixture evenly into center of each square. Using back of spoon, create a small well in the center of each mound. Gently drop an egg yolk into each well.
• Roll out remaining piece of dough to an approximately 16-inch square. On filled dough square, lightly brush water around cheese. Loosely drape second dough square over first. Working from the center outward, gently press any air pockets out from between doughs and press together around fillings.
• Using a fluted pastry wheel, pizza wheel, or knife, cut out ravioli. Transfer to a rimmed sheet dusted with flour (preferably semolina).
• Garlicky Greens: Whisk together lemon juice and mustard to combine, then slowly whisk in 1/3 cup oil to make a dressing; season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat, cook pancetta with 1 tablespoon oil until browned and fat renders, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer pancetta to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Return skillet to medium heat, add garlic, and cook until fragrant and sizzling, 15 seconds. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then kale and dandelion greens, a handful at a time; season with salt and pepper and cook until wilted. Cover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until greens darken and become tender, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, cook ravioli in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water; drain.
• Add reserved pasta water to greens in skillet and cook, uncovered, until water has mostly evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; stir half of reserved lemon dressing into greens.
• Serve each raviolo over a bed of greens, drizzled with remaining lemon dressing and sprinkled with pancetta, Pecorino, and pepper.
