Lamb Stuffed Ravioli With Rosemary Cream Sauce Recipes

LAMB-STUFFED RAVIOLI WITH ROSEMARY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Pasta dough: In a bowl, form a "well" in the flour and gently mix in the eggs with a fork until combined. With floured hands, continue mixing until a tight ball forms. Cover and refrigerate until ready to roll. 2. Saute diced yellow onion in olive oil until translucent, add garlic and stir. Add ground lamb and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add Parmesan, salt and pepper, chopped parsley, and stir. Cover and cool. 3. Retrieve pasta dough from fridge and cut into four pieces. Remove one piece and keep remaining pieces covered. Using hands and a rolling pin, work dough until flat enough to fit through the widest setting on your pasta maker. Add flour to hands and pasta if sticky. 4. Work the pasta sheet, folding and flouring as needed until pasta rolls through second-thinnest setting on pasta maker, forming a long ribbon of pasta. 5. If sticky, lightly dust flour on the pasta sheets and set aside. Repeat with remaining three hunks of dough. 6. Lay out one sheet of pasta dough, and place teaspoons of filling about two inches apart on pasta sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly dab water around filling-this will help the two sheets stick together. 7. Lay second sheet on top of first and press around the pillows of filling with your fingers. Using sharp knife or ravioli cutter, cut pasta into squares. Set aside. Repeat with remaining pasta. (You will have plenty of leftover filling; I use it for a really nice lamb stroganoff the next day.) 8. Melt butter in medium skillet; add rosemary until fragrant. Add cream and stock, bring to a simmer and reduce until slightly thickened. Add grated Reverie Creamery Wanderer, and continue whisking with salt and pepper to taste. Allow to thicken on low while whisking periodically. 9. While cooking sauce, add ravioli in two batches to salted boiling water. I did a single raviolo as a tester before adding the additional pasta to get an idea of how long they would take to cook. For me it was about 4-5 minutes. Use a mesh strainer to remove ravioli from water and set aside. Serve with a generous spoonful of rosemary cream sauce, extra grated cheese and freshly cracked pepper. Pairs wonderfully with a thick, buttery Chardonnay.

LAMB RAVIOLI WITH SAGE CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (1/5)

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add leeks (or onions) and garlic and saute until leeks are wilted or onions are translusent. Add ground lamb to pan and cook thoroughly. Remove from heat, drain off excess fat, and allow mixture to cool. When mixture is cooled, add goat cheese, cayenne pepper and mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. ** I only used 4 oz. of goat cheese, but if you want more of a cheese filled ravioli, you'll want to use more cheese. Cut your pasta into strips about 2 " wide strips (you can go wider or narrower depending on how you like your ravioli. Starting 1 " from the end, add about 1 TBS. of filling. Repeat process by adding filling every 2″. Using a pastry brush, brush all edges with egg wash. Cover bottom strip with another strip of similar length. Using a pasta cutter or knife, cut into squares so that filling is in center of the square. If using a pasta cutter/crimper, crimp all sides of the ravioli to seal. If you don't have a pasta cutter, Use your fingers to tightly seal all sides of the ravioli. You can use a fork to crimp edges. Cook the ravioli in salted boiling water for 3-5 minutes (cook time depends on how thin your pasta dough was). The raviolis will float to the top as they cook, but I recommend testing one for doneness. The filling is cooked, so all you need to worry about is how tender you want the pasta. Over medium heat, saute sage in butter. Add cream and reduce by 1/2. Add Parmesan cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper. *You can reduce fat and calories by substituting 1/2 and 1/2 or whole milk, but the sauce will be noticeably less rich. If you'd like to accent the plate with some pumpkin cream sauce, simply combine equal parts of cream sauce with canned pumpkin. You can also add sauteed mushrooms (morrels) to dish to make earthier.
