Best Green Pea Ravioli With Truffle Butter Sauce Recipes

SPRING PEA RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Combine filling ingredients in a food processor, seasoning to taste.
• Fill each wonton wrapper with 1 heaping teaspoon of filling.
• Brush the edge of the wonton wrapper with water, fold over the wonton to meet corners, and seal the edges shut, pressing out the air as best you can.
• Repeat with all of the wonton wrappers and filling, keeping the assembled pieces covered with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and drop 5-8 ravioli pieces in the boiling water at a time, cooking for 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
• Serve and drizzle with olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt, pepper and parmesan.

GREEN PEA RAVIOLI WITH TRUFFLE BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Force peas through the fine disk of a food mill into a bowl to remove skins.
• Cook shallot in oil in a small skillet over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from heat and stir into pea puree with cheese and crumbs. Season filling with salt and pepper.
• Fill ravioli with a level teaspoon of filling in each. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a dry kitchen towel. Ravioli may be made up to this point 1 day ahead, covered and refrigerated or they can be frozen.
• To make the sauce: Simmer the vinegar and wine over medium heat and reduce until it forms a light syrup (watch carefully toward the end as it tends to burn). Add the cream and reduce heat to low. Whisk in butter pieces one at a time, until emulsified. Add truffle oil, if using. Salt to taste. Set aside and keep warm until ravioli are cooked.
• Cook ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, 2 to 3 minutes, then drain. Toss with sauce then serve immediately.

GREEN PEA SAUCE FOR RAVIOLI AND PASTA (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients into a pot together and bring to a boil.
• Cook uncovered for 3-5 minutes, until the peas have turned tender. Fresh peas won't take long; if you're using REALLY frozen ones like I did you might at least 6-7 minutes.
• Puree in a blender or food processor until totally smooth; it will be a thin sauce. Can be eaten right away or chilled for future use. Keeps for about a week, but freezes well.

TRUFFLE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat.
• When bubbly add shallots and sauté 3 minutes.
• Add brown sauce, red wine and truffle.
• Bring to a slow simmer and cook, occasionally swirling pan, until sauce reduces in half.
• Remove from heat, swirl in remaining tablespoon butter and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve immediately with squab, lamb, beef or veal.

• Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.

• Put ravioli into a boiling pot of salted water-they cook very fast.
• When they float to the surface they are done.
