GOAT CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH CREAMY WALNUT SAUCE
Steps:
- In a bowl combine the goat cheese, walnuts, basil, oil, garlic and lemon peel, and mix well. Set aside.
- Put a pasta sheet on work surface with long side facing you and put a packed teaspoon of filling 2 inches apart lengthwise along half of the pasta sheet (you should have 10 to 12 mounds). Around each mound of filling brush dough very lightly with water. Fold dough lengthwise in half over mounds of filling, gently pressing around mounds to force out any air, and seal edges well. With a fluted pastry wheel trim edges and cut between mounds of filling to separate ravioli.
- Line a large tray with a dry kitchen towel and arrange ravioli in 1 layer. Make more ravioli with remaining 2 pieces of dough and remaining filling in same manner, transferring to kitchen-towel-lined tray and arranging in 1 layer. Ravioli may be made 8 hours ahead and chilled on towel-lined tray, covered loosely with plastic wrap.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the walnuts and cook, stirring, until brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove nuts from the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, shallots and garlic, and saute for 1 minute. Add the wine and cream, and bring to a boil. Cook over medium-high until the liquid has thickened and reduced by nearly 50 percent in volume, about 4 minutes. Stir in the basil, salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli until they are tender and rise to the surface, carefully stirring to keep them from sticking together, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander. Transfer the cooked ravioli to the pan with the sauce, and gently toss to coat and heat through. Divide the ravioli among 6 serving plates or shallow bowls, and sprinkle each serving with grated cheese. Serve immediately.

GORGONZOLA CREAM SAUCE
Autumn is the season for rich, creamy sauces, and I'm pretty sure you're going to be shocked at just how easy this one is. When your cream is reduced, your sauce is practically done. I like serving this with a stuffed pasta like tortellini or ravioli, topped with diced apple and crunchy toasted walnuts.

- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Pour dried ravioli into boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, 16 to 18 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water.
- Gently fold cooked ravioli into cream sauce and turn heat to low. Mix in Gorgonzola cheese, stirring gently until melted. If sauce is too thick, thin it with a little pasta cooking water.

EASY CREAM WALNUT SAUCE FOR RAVIOLI
I got this from my pasta cookbook, almost any kind of nut will work in this but walnuts are the one from the recipe, plus I made this with them and it was soooo good! I used an extra 4 TB olive oil instead of butter, but I'm posting it as is from the cookbook. I used jarred parmesan for convenience. This so FAST and easy, you can make this right when the ravioli is cooking, after it's done cooking, or make it ahead of time. This matches up the best with spinach ravioli and squash ravioli.

Steps:
- Grind up the nuts in a food processor completely.
- Add the butter and olive oil and pulse a few times until a nice paste forms.
- Add the cheese and pulse 2-3 times.
- Add the cream gradually and keep it on a continual blend until smooth.
- Put the cooked ravioli onto plates, and pour equal amounts of the sauce over it. The hot ravioli will heat up the sauce on its own after a few minutes.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality walnuts: Use fresh, plump walnuts for the best flavor. Avoid walnuts that are dry or have a rancid smell.
- Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, or in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
- Use a good quality cream: The cream is a key ingredient in this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a cream that is fresh and has a high fat content, at least 35%. You could also substitute milk or half and half for a lighter sauce.
- Season the sauce to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
- Serve the sauce immediately: This sauce is best served immediately after it is made. The cream will start to thicken as it cools, so if you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
This easy cream walnut sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for ravioli, pasta, chicken, or fish. The creamy, nutty flavor of the sauce is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy sauce, give this cream walnut sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
