Best Kale And Ricotta Ravioli Recipes

Kale-and-Ricotta Ravioli image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 bunch kale (3/4 pound), tough stems and ribs removed
1 3/4 cups ricotta
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1 garlic clove, minced
48 square wonton wrappers (from a 12-ounce package)
4 cups marinara sauce, warmed

Steps:

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook kale until tender, 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer kale to a colander. When cool enough to handle, squeeze out excess water and finely chop. In a medium bowl, mash together kale, ricotta, Parmesan, and garlic; season with salt and pepper.
Assemble ravioli: Arrange 6 wrappers on a work surface, keeping remaining wrappers covered with a damp towel. Spoon a scant tablespoon kale mixture in center of each wrapper. With a fingertip, moisten edges of wrapper with water, then fold over filling to form a triangle and press to seal (flatten area around filling to eliminate air pockets). Place ravioli on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Return salted water to a boil; reduce to a bare simmer. Drop half the ravioli into water, one at a time, stirring gently to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer ravioli to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet, arrange in a single layer, and let drain briefly. Repeat with remaining ravioli. Serve topped with sauce.

Ravioli with Chicken Sausage and Kale image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 11-ounce package fully cooked Italian-flavored chicken sausages, sliced on an angle about 1/2 inch thick
1 small onion, chopped
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup cherry tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, chopped
4 cups refrigerated mozzarella ravioli (from a 20-ounce package)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 cups baby kale
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1/2 cup torn fresh basil
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning once, until browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Move to one side of the skillet and add the onion to the other side; season with salt and pepper. Stir together with the sausages and cook until the onion is softened, 3 to 4 more minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and garlic; cook until the tomatoes brown and soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Transfer to the skillet with the sausage mixture using a slotted spoon; reserve the cooking water. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the ravioli and stir well, then add 1/2 cup cooking water and the butter. Cook, tossing, until the ravioli are well coated and saucy, adding up to 1/2 cup more pasta water as needed. Stir in the kale to wilt, then remove from the heat. Add the Parmesan, basil and parsley; toss to combine.
Divide the ravioli among bowls; top with more Parmesan and season with pepper.
