Best 7 Lobster Bean And Four Cheese Ravioli With Pesto Recipes

LOBSTER RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Put the flour on a clean dry work surface. Make a hole in the center of the flour pile that is about 8 inches wide. The wall needs to be about 2 inches high. Crack all of the eggs and the yolk into the hole and add the olive oil, salt and water.Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil, water and salt.
• Using the fork, begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture; be careful not to break the sides of the well or the egg mixture will run all over the board. When enough flour has been incorporated into the egg mixture where it won't go everywhere, start to use your hands to really get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands.
• When the mixture has really come together, then you really start kneading. You will have to knead for 10-15 minutes, really putting your weight into it.When the dough is done, it will be smooth and velvety. Once a good consistency, wrap in saran wrap and let sit for 1 hour. Once the filling is ready, set up the pasta machine attachment on the stand mixer. Take a quarter of the dough and flatten it.
• Once the filling is ready, set up the pasta machine attachment on the stand mixer. Grab 1 ball of the dough and flatten it. Dust the dough with flour. Set the pasta machine to 1 and run the dough through. Fold the dough into thirds, making sure you thin in out again. Run through the machine, short end first. Fold into thirds again and run through the machine one more time. Now run through the 1 setting without folding the dough ahead of time. Switch to the 2nd setting and roll the dough through the machine again. Switch to the 3rd setting, run the dough through, then the 4th setting and then the 5th setting. The big thing is to make sure you flour the dough if it gets too sticky.
• Now heavily flour your pasta mold, otherwise it will stick when done! Lay one sheet of pasta on the mold and either use an egg to make a well or the plastic piece that comes with the mold to make the wells. Take 1 tbsp of the filling and place it in each well. Use your fingers or a brush to dab some water along all of the edges of the ravioli. Lay a second sheet on top and run over with a rolling pin to seal. (Don't press too hard, other wise it could stick to mold) Turn mold over to release the ravioli. More than likely they won't be fully separated so use a pizza cutter to cut the rest. Line the ravioli on a parchment lined baking sheet and cover with a damp towel. Repeat until all the ravioli is prepared. (You can freeze ravioli at this point. I usually freeze about half as there are only 2 of us)
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Split lobster tails in half lengthwise. With cut side up and using scissors, cut along the edge of shell to loosen the cartilage covering the tail meat from the shell; remove and discard cartilage. Brush with some olive oil, salt and pepper and bake for 10-15 minutes or until meat is firm and opaque. Remove the lobster meat from the shell, finely chop it and add to large bowl.
• In a large skillet, brown the butter over medium heat, stirring often until the butter is golden and has a nutty flavor, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook another 30 seconds. Remove the butter from the heat and add to the bowl with the lobster. Stir in the ricotta, parsley, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Set the filling aside.
• Bring large pot of salted water to boil for ravioli.
• Heat the butter and oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes and cook on low for 15 minutes. Add the cream, Parmesan, parsley and basil and cook on low for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Boil the ravioli for about 1-2 minutes or until the float. Remove ravioli and stir in the tomato cream sauce. Top with some additional cheese and herbs if desired.

FOUR-CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH HERB PESTO

Steps:

• For the pesto: In a food processor, combine the basil, parsley, mint, Parmesan, pine nuts, anchovy paste, pepper and garlic. Pulse until chunky. With the machine running, gradually add the olive oil until the pesto is smooth.
• For the ravioli: In a medium bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, mascarpone, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper.
• In a small bowl, mix together the egg and 1 teaspoon water until smooth.
• Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the wonton wrappers with the egg mixture. Spoon 1 level tablespoon of the filling into the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the opposite corners of each wonton wrapper over to form triangle shapes. Seal the edges firmly, pressing out any air around the filling. (Can be made a few hours in advance. Cover with foil and refrigerate until ready to use.)
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and the olive oil. In batches, add the ravioli to the water and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the ravioli and drain in a colander. Transfer the ravioli to shallow soup bowls. Spoon the sauce over the ravioli and serve.

HOMEMADE FOUR CHEESE RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Mound the flour and salt together on a work surface and form a well. Beat the teaspoon of olive oil, 2 eggs, and water in a bowl. Pour half the egg mixture into the well. Begin mixing the egg with the flour with one hand; use your other hand to keep the flour mound steady. Add the remaining egg mixture and knead to form a dough.
• Knead the dough until smooth, 8 to 10 minutes; add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Form the dough into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• While the dough is resting, prepare the ravioli filling. Combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, provolone cheese, egg, and parsley and mix well. Set the filling aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and pesto sauce and cook for one minute. Pour in the heavy cream, raise the heat to high, and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Remove the pan from the heat and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, warm the marinara sauce over medium-low heat.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Beat the egg with the tablespoon of water to make the egg wash.
• Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets no thicker than a nickel. To assemble the ravioli, brush the egg wash over a sheet of pasta. Drop the filling mixture on the dough by teaspoonfuls about one inch apart. Cover the filling with the top sheet of pasta, pressing out the air from around each portion of filling. Press firmly around the filling to seal. Cut into individual ravioli with a knife or pizza cutter. Seal the edges.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the ravioli, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the ravioli float to the top and the filling is hot, 4 to 8 minutes. Drain well.
• Grease a baking sheet. Place the cooked ravioli on the sheet pan and bake in the preheated oven until brown, about 4 minutes.
• To serve the ravioli, divide them among four warmed serving bowls. Drizzle the marinara sauce over the ravioli and then top with the cream sauce.

LOBSTER, BEAN AND FOUR CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH PESTO

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mash beans until smooth with a few lumps. Stir in four cheeses, basil, lobster, salt and pepper. Mix until all incorporated. On a wax paper lined baking sheet, lay out wonton wrappers. Using fingers, wet two sides of the wontons. Place 2 tsp of filling on half of wonton and fold over, making sure the sides are sealed shut. Continue until the filling is gone. Set raviolis aside. To make pesto, combine all ingredients in food processor and blend until desired consistancy. If too thick, add two more tablespoons olive oil. In a large pot of boiling water, boil ravioli, five at a time for 4 minutes, or until they float upright. Repeat with remaining ravioli. Drain and plate. Drizzle pesto over the ravioli.
