Grilled Pesto Ravioli Recipes

Steps:

• Boil 16 spinach ravioli as the label directs. Drain and pat dry. Fry the ravioli in 1/2 cup olive oil until golden on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Mix 2 tablespoons pesto sauce with 1/2 cup bottled vinaigrette. Place the ravioli on skewers and dip in the sauce.

Steps:

• In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in oil about 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until brown. Remove chicken from skillet.
• Add broth and ravioli to skillet. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 4 minutes or until ravioli are tender.
• Stir zucchini, bell pepper and chicken into ravioli. Cook over medium-high heat about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender and chicken is no longer pink in center. Toss with pesto. Sprinkle with cheese.

Steps:

• Make the dough: Put flour and salt in bowl of a food processor. Pulse briefly to combine. Add eggs and process for 30 to 60 seconds, or until dough forms a rough ball. If dough appears dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time. If it is smearing along sides of mixer, add 1 tablespoon flour. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1 minute. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix ricotta, burrata, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the nutmeg. Add salt as needed.
• Roll out pasta to the thinnest setting according to pasta machine instructions. Cut into four 22-inch long sheets.
• Make the ravioli: Lay out a sheet of pasta and dollop 1/2 tablespoon mounds of filling in two lines, 2 inches apart. Brush egg yolk around filling. Lay another sheet of pasta directly over filling and use your fingers to press out any air pockets. Using a round 21/2-inch cutter, or larger, cut out ravioli around filling. Remove excess pasta and press edges closed with your fingers. Repeat with remaining sheets of pasta and filling. Let rest on a rimmed baking sheet sprinkled with semolina or cornmeal. Sprinkle with additional semolina to avoid sticking. Chill until ready to cook.
• Make the pesto: In a blender or food processor, grind nuts. Add basil, garlic, pecorino, Parmesan, 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. With machine running, gradually pour in oil until a smooth sauce forms. Adjust seasoning.
• Cook ravioli in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, until pasta is cooked through. Drain well. Top with pesto and garnish with Parmesan and chopped pistachios.

Steps:

• For the pesto: In a food processor, combine the basil, parsley, mint, Parmesan, pine nuts, anchovy paste, pepper and garlic. Pulse until chunky. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil until the pesto is smooth.
• For the ravioli: In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, mascarpone, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
• In a small bowl, mix together the egg and 1 teaspoon water until smooth.
• Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the wonton wrappers with the egg mixture. Spoon 1 level tablespoon of the filling into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the opposite corners of each wonton wrapper over to form triangle shapes. Seal the edges firmly, pressing out any air around the filling. (Can be made a few hours in advance. Cover with foil and refrigerate until ready to use.)
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and the olive oil. In batches, add the ravioli to the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the ravioli and drain in a colander. Transfer the ravioli to shallow soup bowls. Spoon the sauce over the ravioli and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. (I cooked our veggies in our toaster oven, first on slow bake, heating them only from the bottom, and then on bake, heating them from the top and bottom, for the last 10 minutes or so. If you don't have this setting on your appliance, you may want to cover them with foil for the first 10 minutes.).
• Cut the carrots, tomatoes, pepper and onion. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and spread the veggies evenly. Drizzle the veggies with olive oil and sprinkle with a dash of salt and a dash of pepper.
• Cook the veggies for 10 minutes.
• Whisk the olive oil, water and pesto mixture together in a small saucepan. Heat on medium-high heat and whisk frequently until the pesto begins to boil.
• Put a pot on for the ravioli.
• Has it been 10 minutes yet? Flip the veggies and set the timer for another 10 minutes.
• When the pesto mixture comes to a boil, turn it down and simmer for 5 minutes, whisking often.
• When the water is ready for the ravioli, throw it in the pot. The pesto mixture will begin to thicken as the ravioli cooks.
• After 20-25 minutes total, your veggies, pesto and ravioli should be ready. Drain the ravioli and throw all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Serve with Parmesan, if desired.
