Parsley Ravioli With Brown Butter Sauce Food

GARLIC RAVIOLI WITH PARSLEY GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place all the garlic cloves on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the garlic in foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove the garlic from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins.
• To make the ravioli, place the white wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, fennel, red onions, and carrots in a medium pan, add salt, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the artichokes, cover the pot, and simmer until the artichokes are tender.
• Once the artichokes are tender, remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool. Remove all of the vegetables and mix with the ricotta in a large bowl.
• Spread out the pasta sheets onto a working surface. Using a tablespoon, spoon the vegetable mixture onto the pasta leaving approximately 2-inches between each ravioli. Top the ravioli with another layer of pasta, and using a 4-inch cookie cutter, cut out the shapes, and seal each ravioli.
• In a large pot with boiling water, cook the raviolis for approximately 6 minutes.
• To make the sauce, place the garlic and chicken stock in a pan and simmer until garlic is soft. Add the cream and reduce to a thick sauce consistency. Add the parsley to the sauce and place in a blender until sauce is smooth.
• In a hot skillet, sear each fillet for approximately 1 minute on each side. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, place the raviolis on the center of the plate. Top the ravioli with the seared bass and drizzle the parsley garlic sauce around the plate.

SAGE & BROWNED BUTTER RAVIOLI

Serve with cheese.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI WITH SAGE BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Directions:.
• In a sauté pan, over medium heat cook 5 slices of pancetta until crispy. Remove the pancetta from the pan and set aside.
• In the same pan, melt ½ tablespoon of butter. Add the shallots and sauté for 1 minute. Add the mashed butternut squash and cook until the mixture is slightly dry, about 2 minutes. Stir in ¼ cup chicken broth and continue to cook about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 3 tablespoons cheese and nutmeg, to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Cool completely (before putting the filling into the ravioli).
• Make pasta, roll and cut into 3-inch rectangles. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each pasta/wonton rectangle. Fold in half and seal completely.
• Start boiling a pot of salted water.
• In a sauté pan, melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter. Add the sage to the butter and continue to cook until the butter starts to brown. Add ¼ cup of chicken broth and cook another 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Add the pasta to the pot of boiling salted water. Cook until al dente. This will take about 5 minutes or until the pasta floats. Tip: Even if they are floating, taste test the pasta portion of the ravioli before you drain the pot.
• Crumble the pancetta.
• Remove the pasta from the water and drain well.
• Single Servings: Place some of the pasta in the center of each serving plate. Spoon the butter sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle each plate with remaining cheese and parsley.
• Family Style: Put half of the raviolis in a big serving platter, pour half of the butter sauce (6 pieces of sage) and half of the pancetta over the ravioli; than repeat with remaining half of ingredients. Sprinkle remaining cheese and garnish with parsley.
• Give each person an amaretti cookie to crumble on their pasta (and an extra to snack on).
• Note:
• I'm still working on 'perfecting' this recipe.
• You can roast the squash or microwave it. If you microwave it use the 'fresh vegetable' setting. It takes me about 10 min, but every microwave is different. You can peel the squash or cook it in it's skin, it's doesn't make a difference. You may want to put it in for a couple minutes before you slice it in half.
• To speed up cooling the mixture spread it out on a plate and put it in the refrigerator.
• If using a Kitchen Aid pasta roller, roll out to Level 4. The 5th setting is a little thin.
• While you're stuffing/folding the ravioli start the water boiling and the butter sauce. Every so often swirl around the butter to prevent it from burning.
• Add some oil to the boiling water to prevent the ravioli from sticking.
• The wontons will boil quicker than the pasta.
• If you cook the ravioli a day or two later: Make sure you dust them with flour right after you finish your folding. The next day, don't let the ravioli sit on the counter while boiling the water, they'll get mushy; keep them in the fridge until the last moment.
• If you have left over pasta from cutting your ravioli and extra squash filling....boil the pasta, drain it and mix in the squash. It makes a great snack/lunch.
