Ravioli With Parmesan Butter Herbs Food

RAVIOLI VERDI WITH BUTTER, PARMESAN AND PEPPER

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.

SQUASH RAVIOLI WITH HERBED BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the filling. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the squash on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast it until tender when peirced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Allow the squash to cool for about 5 minutes, then transfer it to a medium-size bowl. Blend the squash with the milk, cheese, and nutmeg until it has a smooth, mashed potato-like consistancy. Note: the squash can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container.
• Make the pasta. On a clean work surface. mound the flour and make a well in the center. In a small bowl use a fork to lightly beat together the salt and the eggs. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the well. Using a fork, gently incorporate the flour into the egg mixture, a small amount at a time. With your hands and a spatula or dough scraper, work the dough until it pulls together into a smooth, pliable ball.
• Halve the dough, then form each peice into a 1/2inch thick disk. Cover the disks with plastc wrap and set them aside to rest at room tempature for 30 minutes.
• lightly flour your work surface and half each dough disk. Roll out one of your dough portions as thinly as you can (to about the thickness of a dime), then use a 2 1/2 inch- diameter drinking glass, biscuit cutter, or cookie cutter to cut rounds from the dough. arrange them in pairs. Each half disk should yield 7 pairs of dough rounds.
• Further thin the dough rounds by pinching them between your thumb and forefinger. each round should increase in diameter by about 1/4 inch.
• Use a pair of dough rounds to make each ravioli. With a pastry brush or your fingertips dipped in water, paint a half inch perimeter around one of the dough rounds. Spoon a 1/2 tablespoon of squash filling into the center, then press the other round ontop of it along the moistened edges. Use the tines of a fork to seal the edges.
• Bring two large pots of water to boil (using two pots allows all the pasta to cook at once). Meanwhile , make the sauce. Melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add the sage and continue to cook the sauce until it's light brown and has a nutty aroma, about 4 minuts. Remove the sauce from the heat.
• Line a large plate with paper towels. Add half the ravioli to each pot of boiling water. The pasta will float to the top after 2 or 3 minutes, but continue cooking it until tender, about 15 more minutes ( take one out and test its tenderness before draining an entire batch). When the ravioli are done, use a slotted spoon or spatula to scoop them out and transfer them to paper towels to drain.
• To serve, place the ravioli on individual plates and drizzle them with a spoonful of the Herbed Butter Sauce. Sprinkle on more parmesan, if you like.
