CORN AND RICOTTA RAVIOLI WITH SAUTEED CHERRY TOMATO SAUCE



Corn and Ricotta Ravioli with Sauteed Cherry Tomato Sauce image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups fresh corn kernels
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground dried chile de arbol or cayenne
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock, plus more if needed
1/4 cup creme fraiche
1 1/2 cups ricotta
6 large eggs plus 1 yolk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Cornmeal, for dusting, optional
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cloves garlic, smashed to a paste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 anchovy fillets, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan, for serving

Steps:

  • For the corn puree: Heat the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the corn and cook until lightly golden brown, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the chile de arbol and season with salt and pepper. Remove 1/2 cup of the kernels to a bowl for the ravioli filling to let cool slightly.
  • Transfer the rest of the corn to a small saucepan and cover with the stock. Cook over medium heat until slightly softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer the corn to a blender with a slotted spoon, add 1/4 cup of the stock and carefully blend until the corn is smooth. Add 1/2 cup more stock to thin it slightly, then transfer the puree to the saute pan. Add more stock, if needed, to bring the puree to a sauce consistency. Stir in the creme fraiche and season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • For the ravioli: Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and line it with cheesecloth. Place the ricotta in the strainer and drain for 4 hours.
  • Whisk together 3 of the eggs, the yolk and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Put the flour in another bowl, make a well in the center, add the egg mixture in the center and mix the flour into the eggs with a fork until combined. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
  • Combine the drained ricotta, Parmesan, the reserved sauteed corn and 1 egg in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide the dough into quarters and roll thinly in a pasta machine to 1/8-inch thickness. Whisk the remaining 2 eggs together with a tablespoon of water. Dust the counter and dough with flour and lay out 2 sheets of the pasta. Brush the top surface of dough with the egg wash. Distribute 1-tablespoon mounds of filling about 2 inches apart on the 2 sheets of dough. Top with the remaining 2 sheets of dough. Using your fingers, gently press out the air pockets around each mound of filling and form a seal. Use a crimper or cookie cutter to cut each ravioli into squares or circles. Check to make sure the crimped edges are well sealed before cooking. If making the ravioli in advance, dust with cornmeal to prevent them from sticking.
  • For the sauteed cherry tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and salt and pepper and cook until the juices release and then thicken slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper and stir in the basil.
  • For the anchovy breadcrumbs: Heat the oil in a small saute pan over low heat, add the anchovies and cook until they are melted into the oil, about 1 minute. Add the breadcrumbs and cook until lightly golden brown, then season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve: Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli, in batches, until they float, about 2 minutes. Lift the ravioli from the water with a large strainer or slotted spoon and toss in the cherry tomato sauce to coat.
  • Ladle some of the corn puree into 4 large shallow bowls. Top with 3 large ravioli in sauce, grate fresh Parmesan over and sprinkle with anchovy breadcrumbs.

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 1/2 cups corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, plus more for sprinkling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 16-ounce container ricotta, such as BelGioioso® Ricotta con Latte®
12 slices ciabatta bread (1/4 inch thick)
One 8-ounce package fontina cheese, such as BelGioioso® Fontina, cut into 12 slices
1/2 cup small fresh basil leaves or larger leaves torn into bite-size pieces
Flaky salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Position the oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the corn and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through but not beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and season with a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes start to soften slightly and release some of their juice, 3 to 5 minutes depending on their ripeness.
  • Remove from the heat and make 8 divots in the tomato mixture using the back of a spoon. Dollop the ricotta among the divots and drizzle with oil. Bake on the top oven rack until bubbly and the cheese is heated through, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, spread out the bread on a baking sheet, drizzle both sides with oil and season with salt and black pepper. Bake on the bottom oven rack, flipping halfway through, until golden brown around the edges, about 10 minutes. Top each piece of bread with a slice of fontina and cook until melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes. While still hot, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Top the skillet with the basil leaves, drizzle with more oil and sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve right away with the toasts while the skillet is still warm.

TOMATO, CORN, RICOTTA & PARMESAN COBBLER



Tomato, corn, ricotta & parmesan cobbler image

Make this tomato and cheese cobbler to serve alongside roast chicken or enjoy on its own. It's a revelation if you've never made a savoury cobbler before

Provided by Diana Henry

Categories     Dinner, Side dish

Time 1h25m

Yield Serves 4-6 as a main, 6-8 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 16

145g ricotta
235g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
235g fine cornmeal or polenta
1½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp caster sugar
115g cold butter, cut into small cubes
220ml buttermilk (or 120g yogurt mixed with 100ml milk if you can't find buttermilk)
1kg cherry tomatoes, halved
2 corn cobs, kernels cut away from the cobs
1tbsp balsamic vinegar
2½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 large onions, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, grated
4 thyme sprigs, leaves picked
25g grated parmesan or vegetarian alternative

Steps:

  • Put the ricotta in a sieve lined with a piece of muslin, set over a bowl. Put in the fridge and leave to drain for a couple of hours - you want it to drain enough so it's no longer 'wet'.
  • Put the flour, cornmeal, ½ tsp salt, baking powder, bicarb and sugar in a bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the dry ingredients, as if you were making pastry. Make a well in the centre, pour in the buttermilk and, using a knife, gradually mix together. You should end up with a soft dough. Crumble over the ricotta and mix into the dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and, using your hands, shape it into a rectangle, about 20 x 15cm. Fold the top third into the middle, then do the same with the bottom third. Press the mixture into a 20 x 15 rectangle again, and repeat the process two more times. You should end up with a dough that's about 2.5cm thick. Wrap and chill for 20 mins.
  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the tomatoes in a baking dish (about 20 x 30cm) with the corn kernels. Add the vinegar, some seasoning and 1½ tbsp oil, and toss to coat. Set aside.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, and cook the onions until golden and soft, about 12 mins. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes more, then add the thyme and some seasoning. Spoon the onion mixture over the tomatoes and corn.
  • Lay the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into rough circles or squares using a knife. Arrange the dough shapes over the veg, leaving some space between them. Sprinkle with the parmesan and bake for 45 mins until golden and bubbling (you should be able to see the tomatoes bubbling up from underneath the cobbler topping). Leave to cool a little - the tomatoes will be very hot when they come out of the oven - then serve.

CARAMELIZED CORN AND ASPARAGUS PASTA WITH RICOTTA



Caramelized Corn and Asparagus Pasta With Ricotta image

This summery pasta features caramelized corn, crisp-tender asparagus and earthy turmeric, which provides the dish's sunny hue. It's not easy to cook corn to the point of browning without losing all its moisture, but a pinch of sugar helps speed up the caramelization process. Vermouth lends acidity to the light, glossy garlicky sauce, but you could use wine, or even a tablespoon of lemon juice or champagne vinegar for lift. Fresh ricotta provides richness.

Provided by Alexa Weibel

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, vegetables, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt and black pepper
3 ears of corn, husked
1 pound spaghetti, linguine or any shaped pasta
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
16 medium stalks asparagus (about 8 ounces), trimmed and thinly sliced on an angle (about 2 cups)
3 scallions, trimmed and minced, or 1 small shallot, minced
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup vermouth or white wine
1 cup fresh ricotta, seasoned to taste with salt
1 lemon (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high. Meanwhile, prepare the corn: Slice the corn kernels off the cobs, and add the cobs to the pot of water. (This lends a hint of sweetness.)
  • Once the water comes to a boil, add the pasta and cook over medium-high, according to package instructions, until tender but toothsome, just shy of al dente.
  • In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the corn kernels and sugar, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to caramelize, about 6 minutes. Stir in the asparagus, scallions and 1 teaspoon turmeric, and cook, stirring frequently, until just softened and corn is caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Once the pasta is just short of al dente, reserve 1 1/2 cups pasta water, then drain the pasta, and discard the corn cobs.
  • Add the butter, garlic and remaining turmeric to the large skillet and cook over medium until butter melts and starts to foam, about 3 minutes. Whisk in vermouth to deglaze, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, then whisk in 1 cup pasta water.
  • Add the pasta, and toss with tongs over medium heat until thoroughly coated and al dente, 1 to 2 minutes, adding pasta water as needed. Remove from heat, stir in half the corn mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide pasta among plates. Dollop with ricotta and top with remaining corn mixture. Drizzle with olive oil. If using lemon, shower the pasta with lemon zest, then cut the lemon into quarters, for squeezing on top, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Select Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, ripe tomatoes, sweet corn, and creamy ricotta cheese. High-quality ingredients will significantly enhance the dish's flavor.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh basil, oregano, or parsley add a burst of aromatic flavor to the pasta. Incorporate them just before serving to preserve their delicate taste.
  • Control Saltiness: Taste the ricotta cheese and tomatoes before adding salt to the dish. Some ricotta brands may be saltier than others, and tomatoes can vary in sweetness. Adjust the seasoning accordingly.
  • Cook Pasta Al Dente: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, ensuring it remains slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when combined with the sauce.
  • Combine Ingredients Gently: When mixing the pasta, sauce, and vegetables, use a light hand to avoid breaking the pasta or crushing the tomatoes. Toss everything together gently to evenly distribute the flavors.

Conclusion:

Ricotta tomato corn pasta is a delightful summer dish that showcases fresh, seasonal ingredients. Its vibrant colors, sweet and tangy flavors, and creamy texture make it a crowd-pleasing dish. It's a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed as a light lunch or a satisfying dinner. Whether you're cooking for a weeknight family meal or hosting a casual gathering, this pasta dish is sure to impress. With its versatile nature, you can easily customize it to suit your preferences, making it a go-to recipe for any occasion.
