RAVIOLI WITH CREAMY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add about 1/4 cup olive oil to the water to help prevent pasta from sticking. Add the ravioli and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain the ravioli, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water. Toss the ravioli with the remaining oil to coat.
• Meanwhile, bring the marinara sauce to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking often. Whisk in the ricotta and enough reserved cooking water to thin the sauce to desired consistency. For a thicker sauce, use less pasta water; for a thinner sauce, add more water. Return the sauce to a simmer. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon 3 tablespoons of sauce over the bottom of each of 6 bowls. Arrange the ravioli over the sauce. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the ravioli. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and the basil, and serve.

TOASTED RAVIOLI SALAD WITH CREAMY MARINARA DRESSING

Steps:

• For the dough: Place the flour on a large work surface. Make a well and add the eggs, olive oil and salt in the center. Using a fork, whisk the egg mixture, slowly incorporating the surrounding flour into the egg mixture until all the flour is mixed in. Use your hand to combine the rest of the dough. Knead, sprinkling extra flour on the work surface if the dough is sticking, until the dough is smooth and elastic and the center springs back when poked, about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, heat the spinach in the microwave just until the spinach is warm, about 1 minute. Strain the spinach, then place the spinach inside a clean kitchen towel and wring out all the excess liquid. Add the spinach to a bowl along with the mascarpone, mozzarella, salt, garlic powder and egg and mix to combine.
• Set a stand mixer pasta attachment or a table pasta roller attachment to the widest setting. Cut the dough in half and keep one half covered as you work with the other half. Flatten out the dough you are working with, adding a little bit of flour as you flatten. Feed the flattened dough through the pasta attachment once, catching the dough with the back of your hands. Add a little more flour and fold the pasta in thirds. Flatten the dough down and run it through the widest setting 2 more times. Then run the dough through each setting, decreasing the number each time you add the dough until you get to the thinnest setting. Your dough is now ready to be molded into raviolis.
• Cut the pasta sheet in half and drop teaspoon-size dollops of filling over the dough, spacing them 1 inch from the edges and 2 inches apart from each other. Brush water around the perimeter of the pasta. Place the other half layer of pasta on top. Press down and around the filling, taking care to get the air out and seal the filling in. Use a ravioli stamp to cut the pasta. Place each piece on a parchment lined pan. If you do not have a ravioli stamp, use a knife to cut squares around the filling and use the prongs of a fork to seal the pasta all the way around the filling. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
• Heat enough canola oil so that it comes to 2 inches up the side of a high-sided pan to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a rack.
• Dip each ravioli in the milk and shake off the excess. Dredge in the breadcrumbs and place back on the a parchment lined sheet pan. Fry in batches, without crowding the pan, around 2 minutes on each side. Remove from the oil using a spider or a slotted spoon. Place on the lined baking sheet to drain and immediately sprinkle with salt.
• For the creamy marinara dressing: Mix the marinara and ranch in a bowl, then set aside.
• For the salad: Combine the romaine, onion, tomato, olives and some Parmesan in a large bowl, then add a little dressing and toss to combine. Plate and add the desired amount of toasted raviolis, a drizzle of more dressing and more Parmesan.
