Prosciutto Ravioli
August 02, 2009
I made these the other night. They were delicious and a do-again for sure.
Let's get mixing and eating.
Gathered the ingredients and drained the spinach that I placed in cheesecloth. Dang, there is a-lot-of-liquid in spinach. I probably should have made a healthy drink or something with the liquid...naw.
I mixed up some prosciutto, egg yolks, spinach and ricotta cheese.
Put a scant teaspoon of filling into a wonton wrapper, brushed the edges with water then folded over and sealed closed.
Gently placed into rolling boiling water, just a few at a time so the water won't lose it's boil.
As the ravioli were boiling I melted some butter in a skillet and added Greek oregano. Then I swished the cooked ravioli around in the oregano butter.
Plated and dove in. Didn't even stop for a salad.
Thanks Giada for a great dinner.
@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format
Prosciutto Ravioli
1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped
2 large egg yolks
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
48 wonton wrappers
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
freshly grated pecorino
Whisk the ricotta, spinach, prosciutto, egg yolks, salt, and pepper in a
medium bowl to blend.
Place 1 tablespoon of the ricotta filling in the center of a wonton
wrapper. Brush the edge of the wrapper lightly with water. Fold the wrapper
in half, enclosing the filling completely and forming a triangle. Pinch
the edges to seal. Transfer the ravioli to baking sheets. Repeat with the
remaining filling and wrappers. (Can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead; cover
and refrigerate.)
Melt the butter in a heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add the oregano
and stir 1 minute. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove from the
heat.
Working in batches, cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water
until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes per batch.
Transfer the ravioli to a large shallow bowl.
Pour the oregano butter over the ravioli and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle
the pecorino over the ravioli and serve.
