Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion (finely diced)
2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
500 g (1.1lb) fresh ravioli ((use your favourite flavour))
1 red bell pepper (sliced)
1/2 tsp Italian herbs
1/2 tsp chilli flakes (red pepper flakes)
1/2 tsp black pepper
a pinch salt
1 tbsp tomato puree (paste if you're in the US)
90 ml (1/3 cup) white wine
100 g (3 1/2 oz) roasted cherry tomato halves ((you can buy these from the deli counter))
120 ml (1/2 cup) chicken stock
90 ml (1/3 cup) double (heavy) cream
90 g (3 packed cups) baby spinach
50 g (1/2 cup) parmesan (grated )
1 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Steps:

Add the 1 tbsp of olive oil to a large frying pan (or skillet) and heat over a medium heat, then add in the finely diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until the onion starts to soften.
Add in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds stirring continuously.
Now add in the ravioli and the sliced red bell pepper and cook for another minute, stirring a few times.
Add in the Italian herbs, chilli flakes, black pepper and a pinch of salt, give it a stir then add in the tomato puree and wine, stir again, and cook for another minute to reduce the wine down slightly.
Add in the roasted tomatoes, chicken stock and cream. Stir everything together and bring up to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 5-6 minutes, until the centre of the ravioli is piping hot (you can open one up to check this).
Add in the spinach and parmesan and cook for a minute to allow the cheese to melt and the spinach to wilt.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.

CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Cheese Ravioli with Fresh Tomato Sauce image

Categories Food Processor Egg Vegetarian Kid-Friendly Parmesan Ricotta Cookie Small Plates

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

For the pasta dough
3 large eggs
6 egg yolks
3 cups flour
A pinch of salt
For the ravioli filling
1 (16-ounce) container ricotta
1 cup grated Parmesan
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 egg yolks (set the whites aside)
Fresh tomato sauce

Steps:

Make the pasta dough:
Combine the ingredients in a food processor. Process until the dough mixture leaves the sides of the bowl. Remove to a mixing bowl and knead by hand for a few minutes until smooth. (If the dough is too dry, add a few drops of water.) Divide into 4 equal parts and shape them into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 1 hour.
Make the ravioli filling
Put the cheeses, salt, and pepper in a blender and pulse. Add the egg yolks and pulse until incorporated.
Make the ravioli
Roll the discs of dough into thin sheets in a pasta machine. Arrange tablespoon-size dollops of the filling 1 1/2 inches apart on one of the sheets. Brush a little egg white around each dollop, then place another sheet directly on top. Gently press around the filling to remove any air pockets and seal the sheets. Using a ravioli cutter or a knife, cut out ravioli squares. Sprinkle with flour to prevent the dough from sticking.
Cooking the ravioli
Cook the ravioli in plenty of boiling salted water until they float to the top, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain well and toss with the Fresh tomato sauce . Garnish with the remaining chopped basil and serve immediately.
