Parsley Ravioli With Brown Butter Sauce Recipes

HOMEMADE FIVE CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH GARLIC BROWN BUTTER

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, romano cheese, cream cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter.
• Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Be sure to not overcook the garlic.
• Add salt and pepper and remove from heat.
• Sift flour and salt onto a work surface.
• Make a wide well in the center of the flour.
• Crack the full egg in the well.
• Add egg yolks and oil and gently whisk the wet mixture together within the well.
• Slowly fold in the flour mixture, a little at a time, until the dough is too stiff to mix with a fork.
• Using a bench scraper, cut into the mixture to break up the gluten, while continuously using your hands to bring the entire mixture together. Fold it into a single mass.
• Knead the dough with your hands for 7-10 minutes, adding more flour as needed.
• Form a ball with the dough and cover it, allowing it to rest for 30 minutes.
• Roll the dough out into a ¼ inch thick rectangle (thin enough to fit into the KitchenAid Pasta Roller attachment at its widest setting).
• Move the rollers to the next smallest setting and pass the dough through again. Continuously lower the size settings, passing the dough through once or twice each time.
• Stop rolling with the dough is thin enough to partially see-through.
• Cut the length of dough into 24-inch sections.
• Lay out each section and working one pasta sheet at a time, lightly spray each sheet with water.
• Starting on one edge, spoon out 2 teaspoons of filling in the center of each sheet, leaving 1 inch of space on each side.
• Lift the top edge of the sheet and bring it over the top of the filling, lining it up with the bottom edge.
• Using your fingers, gently press the dough as close as you can to the filling. Try to eliminate any air pockets that form.
• Press again on the edge to seal it completely.
• Using a fluted pastry wheel, trim the long edge of the pasta. Then cut in between each section to create the individual raviolis.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add raviolis to hot water, working in batches to not overcrowd the pot.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes and then gently scoop out the raviolis, strain out any excess water and transfer to a plate.
• Drizzle brown butter sauce over raviolis.
• Top with extra grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
• Serve immediately.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI WITH A SAGE BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the shallots and saute for 1 minute. Add the squash puree and cook until the mixture is slightly dry, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cream and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 3 tablespoons cheese and nutmeg, to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Cool completely.
• Cut the pasta ribbons into 3-inch squares. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each pasta square. Bring 1 corner of the square to the other, forming a triangle and seal the pasta completely. Add the pasta to pot of boiling salted water. Cook until al dente, about 2 to 3 minutes or until the pasta floats and is pale in color.
• Remove the pasta from the water and drain well. Season the pasta with salt and pepper.
• In a large saute pan, melt the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter. Add the sage to the butter and continue to cook until the butter starts to brown. Remove from the heat.
• Place some of the pasta in the center of each serving plate. Spoon the butter sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle the 2 ounces of cheese over each plate and garnish with parsley.

WHITE BEAN RAVIOLI WITH BROWN BUTTER AND CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• For the ravioli:
• In a blender, puree together the beans, egg, vinaigrette, cheese, and Italian seasoning; set aside.
• Working in batches, so the wrappers don't dry out, lay out 6 to 8 wonton wrappers. Place 1/2 tablespoon of bean mixture in the center of each. Moisten 2 connecting edges of the wonton wrapper with your finger dipped in water.
• Fold wrapper in half to form a triangle. Press edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a low boil.
• For the sauce:
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until it begins to brown and have a nutty aroma. Turn off heat and stir in capers and Italian seasoning.
• Working in batches, cook ravioli in boiling salted water until just tender, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer ravioli to hot butter sauce. Add parsley to pan. Use a spoon to coat ravioli with sauce. Transfer to plates and add salt.
• Serve immediately garnished with grated Parmesan.

GARLIC RAVIOLI WITH PARSLEY GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Place all the garlic cloves on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil. Wrap the garlic in foil and bake in the oven for 45 minutes. Remove the garlic from the oven, and when cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins.
• To make the ravioli, place the white wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, fennel, red onions, and carrots in a medium pan, add salt, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the artichokes, cover the pot, and simmer until the artichokes are tender.
• Once the artichokes are tender, remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool. Remove all of the vegetables and mix with the ricotta in a large bowl.
• Spread out the pasta sheets onto a working surface. Using a tablespoon, spoon the vegetable mixture onto the pasta leaving approximately 2-inches between each ravioli. Top the ravioli with another layer of pasta, and using a 4-inch cookie cutter, cut out the shapes, and seal each ravioli.
• In a large pot with boiling water, cook the raviolis for approximately 6 minutes.
• To make the sauce, place the garlic and chicken stock in a pan and simmer until garlic is soft. Add the cream and reduce to a thick sauce consistency. Add the parsley to the sauce and place in a blender until sauce is smooth.
• In a hot skillet, sear each fillet for approximately 1 minute on each side. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, place the raviolis on the center of the plate. Top the ravioli with the seared bass and drizzle the parsley garlic sauce around the plate.
