Pear and Gorgonzola Ravioli With Walnuts and Rosemary Butter image

A nice ending to dinner. Creamy cheese with a little tang and the sweetness of a combination of dried and fresh pears makes this just a wonderful "different" dessert. My friends ask for this every time I have a dinner party. It is just that dessert that is completely unique and stands of its own. Now I take some short cuts. I use wonton wrappers, I make them the day before and you can actually boil them the day before, so dessert is 3 minutes in a saute pan and you can have them on the table. Don't think you have to do it all in one night

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup dried pears, fine chopped
1 1/2 cups Anjou pears, fine chopped
7 ounces gorgonzola, crumbles
3 1/2 ounces ricotta cheese (not low fat, use the good stuff)
2 tablespoons shallots, fine chopped
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
wonton wrapper
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons white wine
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, fine chopped
1/2 cup chopped fine chopped walnuts
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Filling -- In a medium non stick sauce pan on medium heat add the pears, dried and fresh, shallots and cook until the pears start to break down. The pears should give enough moisture so no oil or butter is needed. Cook until they are soft but not "mush." You still want a little texture to it. Remove and let cool.
  • Add the cooled pear mix to the gorgonzola, ricotta and pepper and mix well. I like to chill this before I use this as a filling.
  • Make the ravioli -- take a wonton wrapper and wet the edges just using water and your finger and then add a teaspoon of the filling to the wonton and press corner to corner to make a triangle. Press well to make sure the edges are sealed and get all the air out around the center around the filling. Once done, move to a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper until you finish making the rest of the raviolis.
  • In a large pot of boiling water it is time to cook the ravioli. I like to cook this on a medium boil. NOT on high. To high of heat will just cause the raviolis to bread up. Add the raviolis 6 or 7 at a time, don't over crowd the pot and boil 1-2 minutes until they float to the surface. Once they float -- they are done. Remove and set on a cookie sheet until cooled.
  • Now you can pan saute and serve them now or you store them in a ziplock for a day or so until ready.
  • Saute -- In a medium non stick pan add 1 teaspoon of the butter and heat to medium. Add the ravioli and lightly pan sear. You just want to lightly brown and slightly crisp up, just a minute or so per side is all they need, and to heat up. Remove the ravioli to a serving bowl and cover.
  • Sauce -- Add the wine to the pan and then the remaining butter, rosemary and walnuts, a little salt and pepper to taste. Cook another minute and pour over the ravioli.
  • Enjoy them! They are a treat.
