Foie Gras And Truffle Ravioli With Parmesan Recipes

BAKED RAVIOLI WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Cook ravioli as directed on package, omitting salt.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in large saucepan on medium heat. Add onions; cook 5 min. or until tender, stirring occasionally and adding garlic for the last min. Stir in tomatoes, basil and pepper. Bring to boil; simmer on low heat 10 min., stirring occasionally.
• Drain ravioli; stir into tomato mixture. Spoon into 3-qt. casserole sprayed with cooking spray; sprinkle with cheeses.
• Bake 20 to 25 min. or until heated through.

RAVIOLI WITH FOIE GRAS AND TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Cut the foie gras into slices about half an inch thick or slightly larger. Cut the slices into half-inch or slightly larger cubes. Dip one side of each cube into the chopped truffles and set aside.
• Use the won-ton skins to make ravioli. Begin by laying the skins on a flat surface and, using a pastry brush, brush around the inside perimeter of each skin with water, making a 1-inch brushed margin. Place one piece of foie gras in the center of each won-ton skin. Fold over one corner of the won ton to meet its opposite corner, and enclose the foie gras. Press all around with the fingers to seal. Use a biscuit cutter to press around the filled won-ton skin to make a neat moon shape.
• Bring the broth to a simmer in a saucepan, and add the ravioli. When the liquid returns to a simmer, let the ravioli cook 1 minute. Remove the ravioli carefully with a slotted spoon. Put 5 ravioli in each of 4 heated soup plates. Spoon equal amounts of the broth over each serving, and sprinkle each serving with an equal amount of the shaved truffle. Serve immediately.

PASTA WITH FOIE GRAS AND TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Reserve 1 ounce of the foie gras and slice it in half. Dice the rest and place in a bowl. Gradually add wine and use a small whisk or fork to blend foie gras and wine together until smooth. Set aside. Heat fat in a 12-inch skillet. Add shallots and sauté on medium until soft and barely tinged with brown. Add stock and cook until stock is reduced by half.
• Remove from heat. Stir in foie gras mixture. Heat gently for a couple of minutes, not more than a very low simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add thyme and truffle juice. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add pasta and cook until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Transfer pasta to skillet. Place over low heat. Add truffles. Using tongs, turn pasta to reheat and coat with sauce. Check seasoning. Divide into two warm soup plates and serve, with a piece of the reserved foie gras on top of each portion.
