RAVIOLI WITH RICOTTA AND ASPARAGUS
I have a huge asparagus bed that is a prolific producer. We eat fresh asparagus almost daily in the spring and then I freeze what we are not able to eat. I also make ricotta cheese a couple of times a month. When I don't know what else to make for light meal I often make this ravioli dish.

Steps:
- 1. Blanche and chill asparagus if using fresh. Skip if using frozen. Cut into 1 inch pieces. Dry with paper towels. Save 1/4 cup for garnish.
- 2. In a bowl mix the asparagus, ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, olive oil, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and set aside.
- 3. Place a scant tablespoon of ricotta mixture on center of half of the wonton wrappers. Run a wet pastry brush around the edge and place a second wrapper on top and press with your fingers to seal.
- 4. In a large saute pan, heat butter over high heat until the foam subsides. Add reserved asparagus and remove from heat. Cook ravioli in boiling water until they are tender and cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- 5. Drain ravioli reserving 3 tablespoons pasta water and add them to the pan with butter. Add 3 tablespoons pasta water and toss gently over high heat for 1 minutes.
- 6. Season with salt and pepper. Divide evenly between 8 pasta bowls and serve immediately with Parmigiano-Reggiano grated over the top.
