Title: Chicken Ravioli with Walnut Butter Sauce
Categories:
Yield: 9 Servings
1 tb Finely chopped shallots
1 Clove garlic; minced
1 tb Olive oil
1/2 c Chopped cooked chicken
5 1/2 oz To 6 chevre or cream cheese;
.. cut up
Cilantro pasta dough*
.. (separate recipe)
1/2 c Butter
1/4 c Pinenuts
9 Walnut halves
Fresh cilantro
Cherry tomato halves;
.. optional
Fresh basil; optional
Cook shallots and garlic in olive oil in a small
saucepan until shallots are tender, stirring
occasionally. Stir in chicken and cheese. Set
mixture aside.
Roll half the cilantro pasta dough at a time on a
lightly floured board into a 13" circle about
1/16" thick. Let stand 20 minutes. With a 3" round
cutter, cut 36 circles (reroll scraps if necessary
to get 36 circles). Place about 1 tablespoon
chicken mixture in the center half of the circles.
Lightly brush water around the edges. Top each
with a plain circle pressing edges together to
seal. Let stand a few minutes.
Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add
ravioli slowly enough to maintain the boil. Boil
until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain
immediately.
Meanwhile, cook butter, pine nuts and walnuts
until butter is lightly browned. For each serving,
place 2 or 3 ravioli on a small plate. Spoon the
butter sauce over giving each serving a walnut
half and some pine nuts. Garnish with cilantro
sprigs and if desired, cherry tomato halves and
fresh basil.
Makes 6 or 9 servings.
