Lamb Ravioli With A Rosemary Cream Sauce Recipes

LAMB-STUFFED RAVIOLI WITH ROSEMARY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Pasta dough: In a bowl, form a "well" in the flour and gently mix in the eggs with a fork until combined. With floured hands, continue mixing until a tight ball forms. Cover and refrigerate until ready to roll. 2. Saute diced yellow onion in olive oil until translucent, add garlic and stir. Add ground lamb and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add Parmesan, salt and pepper, chopped parsley, and stir. Cover and cool. 3. Retrieve pasta dough from fridge and cut into four pieces. Remove one piece and keep remaining pieces covered. Using hands and a rolling pin, work dough until flat enough to fit through the widest setting on your pasta maker. Add flour to hands and pasta if sticky. 4. Work the pasta sheet, folding and flouring as needed until pasta rolls through second-thinnest setting on pasta maker, forming a long ribbon of pasta. 5. If sticky, lightly dust flour on the pasta sheets and set aside. Repeat with remaining three hunks of dough. 6. Lay out one sheet of pasta dough, and place teaspoons of filling about two inches apart on pasta sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly dab water around filling-this will help the two sheets stick together. 7. Lay second sheet on top of first and press around the pillows of filling with your fingers. Using sharp knife or ravioli cutter, cut pasta into squares. Set aside. Repeat with remaining pasta. (You will have plenty of leftover filling; I use it for a really nice lamb stroganoff the next day.) 8. Melt butter in medium skillet; add rosemary until fragrant. Add cream and stock, bring to a simmer and reduce until slightly thickened. Add grated Reverie Creamery Wanderer, and continue whisking with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to thicken on low while whisking periodically. 9. While cooking sauce, add ravioli in two batches to salted boiling water. I did a single raviolo as a tester before adding the additional pasta to get an idea of how long they would take to cook. For me it was about 4-5 minutes. Use a mesh strainer to remove ravioli from water and set aside. Serve with a generous spoonful of rosemary cream sauce, extra grated cheese and freshly cracked pepper. Pairs wonderfully with a thick, buttery Chardonnay.

FOUR CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH ROSEMARY BUTTER SAUCE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Pour the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre, crack the eggs into the well and mix everything together with a spoon or fork.
• When the mixture has combined, knead the dough for 5 minutes. Form it into a ball, wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• While the dough is in the fridge, mix together the ricotta, cream cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, parsley and a sprinkling of salt and pepper to make the filling. Set aside until needed.
• On a floured surface, roll half of the dough out as thin as you can using a rolling pin to make a long rectangular shape (If you have a pasta machine, use the 2nd thinnest setting) - keep the other half of the dough in cling film in the fridge to keep it fresh until you're ready for it.
• On one side, dollop tablespoons of the cheese filling onto the pasta, leaving at least a 1-2cm (⅓-¾ inch) gap in all directions.
• Brush the pasta that's surrounding the filling with water or egg white. Fold the other side of the past over and on top of the filling, pushing down around each part to seal it in, creating a long strip of ravioli pieces.
• Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut around and create individual pieces of ravioli.
• Dust these pieces with flour and repeat from step 4 using the other half of the dough.
• Boil the pasta in salted water on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the pasta floats to the top, then drain.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan then add the pine nuts, cook for 2 minutes then add the rosemary - cook for a further minute or two until the pine nuts look toasted and the rosemary has just begun to brown and crisp up a bit.
• Enjoy!
