Broccoli Di Rabe Mozzarella Ravioli
What it is
These ravioli are a fresh pasta product filled with a blend of broccoli di rabe and mozzarella cheese. The broccoli di rabe offers a slightly bitter, earthy flavor that is balanced by the creamy, mild taste of the mozzarella. The pasta itself is typically made from durum wheat flour and eggs, giving it a tender yet firm texture when cooked. This combination creates a savory and satisfying filling encased in delicate pasta squares.
How people cook with it
Fresh ravioli like these are a quick and elegant meal option. They pair well with a variety of simple sauces.
- Tossed with browned butter and sage
- Served with a light tomato sauce
- Finished with a drizzle of olive oil and grated Parmesan
- Combined with sautéed garlic and chili flakes
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the fresh ravioli, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain the ravioli carefully, reserving a small amount of the pasta water. Toss the cooked ravioli with your chosen sauce immediately.
