When cooking ravioli, the water should be at a rolling boil, in between boiling and simmering, to ensure that the pasta does not split open.


Ingredients

Spring Green Sour Cream Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ red onion, finely diced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup white wine (optional)
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 125g frozen peas
  • ½ bunch asparagus, woody ends trimmed and cut into thirds
  • Pinch of chilli flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup sour cream

Chicken and Ricotta Pansotti

  • 250g chicken and ricotta pansotti

To Serve

  • ½ punnet cherry tomatoes
  • ½ cos lettuce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 50g mint and cashew pesto

Steps

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Heat first measure of olive oil in a medium fry-pan on medium heat. Cook onion for about 3 minutes, until soft. Add salt and garlic and cook a further 1 minute, until fragrant. Add wine (if using) and simmer until liquid has almost evaporated.
  2. Add stock, bring to a simmer then add peas and asparagus. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and tender.
  3. While veggies are cooking, cook pansotti in pot of boiling water for 4-5 minutes, until just tender. Drain well and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cut cherry tomatoes in half and roughly chop lettuce. Toss both in a large bowl with second measure of olive oil and season to taste. Set aside.
  5. When asparagus has finished cooking, add cooked pasta, chilli flakes (if using) and sour cream to pan and toss gently, until combined. Season to taste.
  6. To serve, divide chicken and ricotta pansotti between plates and dollop with mint and cashew pesto. Serve cherry tomatoes and cos lettuce on the side.
