Ravioli With Corn A Recipes

Steps:

• For the corn puree: Heat the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the corn and cook until lightly golden brown, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chile de arbol and season with salt and pepper. Remove 1/2 cup of the kernels to a bowl for the ravioli filling to let cool slightly.
• Transfer the rest of the corn to a small saucepan and cover with the stock. Cook over medium heat until slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the corn to a blender with a slotted spoon, add 1/4 cup of the stock and carefully blend until the corn is smooth. Add 1/2 cup more stock to thin it slightly, then transfer the puree to the saute pan. Add more stock, if needed, to bring the puree to a sauce consistency. Stir in the creme fraiche and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• For the ravioli: Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and line it with cheesecloth. Place the ricotta in the strainer and drain for 4 hours.
• Whisk together 3 of the eggs, the yolk and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Put the flour in another bowl, make a well in the center, add the egg mixture in the center and mix the flour into the eggs with a fork until combined. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
• Combine the drained ricotta, Parmesan, the reserved sauteed corn and 1 egg in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the dough into quarters and roll thinly in a pasta machine to 1/8-inch thickness. Whisk the remaining 2 eggs together with a tablespoon of water. Dust the counter and dough with flour and lay out 2 sheets of the pasta. Brush the top surface of dough with the egg wash. Distribute 1-tablespoon mounds of filling about 2 inches apart on the 2 sheets of dough. Top with the remaining 2 sheets of dough. Using your fingers, gently press out the air pockets around each mound of filling and form a seal. Use a crimper or cookie cutter to cut each ravioli into squares or circles. Check to make sure the crimped edges are well sealed before cooking. If making the ravioli in advance, dust with cornmeal to prevent them from sticking.
• For the sauteed cherry tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and salt and pepper and cook until the juices release and then thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper and stir in the basil.
• For the anchovy breadcrumbs: Heat the oil in a small saute pan over low heat, add the anchovies and cook until they are melted into the oil, about 1 minute. Add the breadcrumbs and cook until lightly golden brown, then season with salt and pepper.
• To serve: Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli, in batches, until they float, about 2 minutes. Lift the ravioli from the water with a large strainer or slotted spoon and toss in the cherry tomato sauce to coat.
• Ladle some of the corn puree into 4 large shallow bowls. Top with 3 large ravioli in sauce, grate fresh Parmesan over and sprinkle with anchovy breadcrumbs.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, 5 minutes. Add the corn and saute another 5 minutes. Add the thyme and garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 minute. Add in the chipotle chiles and zucchini and cook over medium-low heat until the flavors incorporate, 5 minutes. Stir in the flour. Add the cream and bring just to a simmer; stir in the adobo sauce. Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
• Preheat the broiler to high.
• For assembling the lasagna: Spread about one-quarter of the zucchini-corn mixture over the bottom of a large gratin or 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with the ravioli in an even layer. Pour over the remaining zucchini-corn mixture. Top with the cheese.
• Broil until the top is browned and bubbly, about 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Special equipment: cookie cutter (3-inch)
• Melt butter in saute pan, add in corn, red bell pepper and onion. Let saute until onion is translucent and corn has released some of it's sugars. Add in 1/2 of the basil leaves and a couple of twists of black pepper. Add in 1/4 cup heavy cream and reduce by half. Set aside to cool.
• When cool, smash up a bit with a fork, stir in ricotta and cream cheese. Place wonton wrappers down (three at a time works) and in the center of each, place 1 1/2 t filling. Brush exposed wrapper with egg yolk, carefully place a second wrapper on top and carefully seal edges, making sure to get out any air bubbles. Cut with star cutter, work fingers around edges to make sure seal is tight. Set aside on floured baking sheet and continue to assemble.
• When finished, boil water and gently add raviolis a few at a time, cooking for 2 minutes or until they float. Carefully remove and drain.
• For Sauce: In clean saute pan, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter, when melted, add in remaining basil, saute until crisp and butter is just very lightly browning. Add in remaining cream and reduce to thickened. Salt and pepper to taste, serve over raviolis immediately.
