Prosciutto Ravioli Giada Recipes

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, combine the prosciutto, Parmesan rind, thyme, carrots, celery, garlic, shallots and 7 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 45 minutes, skimming any foam comes to the surface. Strain the broth and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, add the farro and water to cover by 1 inch. Add the salt and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and simmer until the farro is tender and most of the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Drain off any excess water and set aside.
• In a separate Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until deep golden brown, 10 minutes. Deglaze with the Marsala. Add the cooked farro and the prosciutto broth, and bring to a simmer. Add the spinach and stir until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve the soup in bowls. Top with Parmesan crisps if using.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat. Add the chopped prosciutto and cook, stirring constantly, until crispy and deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the prosciutto to a paper towel-lined plate. Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic to the oil and cook, stirring often, until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Add the peas, pepper flakes and 1/8 teaspoon salt and turn off the heat.
• Add the pasta to the boiling salted water and cook for 2 minutes less than package directions, about 9 minutes.
• Return the skillet with the garlic oil to medium heat. Using tongs, remove the pasta from the water and add directly to the skillet with the oil. Sprinkle the bare pasta with 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano. Add 1/2 cup pasta water and toss well to coat the pasta and form a creamy sauce. Add the remaining 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano and up to 1/2 cup more pasta water to maintain a creamy sauce. Serve sprinkled with the crispy prosciutto, more Parmigiano-Reggiano and another drizzle of olive oil, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a 2 quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Always stirring, gradually add the milk and continue to whisk until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Simmer until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. This will take approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in nutmeg, 1/2 cup fontina, prosciutto and season with salt and white pepper. Set aside.
• In a large pot, bring to a boil 6 quarts of salted water. Add the rigatoni and cook for about 5 minutes. Since you will be cooking the pasta a second time in the oven, you want to make sure the inside is still hard. Drain in a colander. Return pasta to the pot and pour in bechamel sauce. Using a wooden spoon, mix well until all the pasta is coated with the sauce.
• Into a greased 13-by-9-inch baking dish, pour the pasta with cream sauce. Smooth out top and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup fontina. Dot the top with diced butter and bake in oven for 25 minutes or until bubbling and the top is golden brown.

Steps:

• Whisk the ricotta, spinach, prosciutto, egg yolks, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.
• Place 1 tablespoon of the ricotta filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Brush the edge of the wrapper lightly with water. Fold the wrapper in half, enclosing the filling completely and forming a triangle. Pinch the edges to seal. Transfer the ravioli to baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. (Can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.)
• Melt the butter in a heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add the oregano and stir 1 minute. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Working in batches, cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer the ravioli to a large shallow bowl.
• Pour the oregano butter over the ravioli and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the pecorino over the ravioli and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay the prosciutto slices on the parchment without touching.
• In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, salt, allspice and cayenne.
• Brush each slice of prosciutto with some olive oil and sprinkle with the spice mix.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the ham is beginning to crisp and the sugar is caramelized, 16 to 18 minutes.
• Transfer the slices to a cooling rack to cool completely. Blot with a paper towel if beads of oil form.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter begins to brown and smells nutty, about 8 minutes. Add the apple cider, cinnamon, star anise, peppercorns and salt; bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced to 2/3 cup, about 20 minutes. Strain and keep warm.
• Lay a wonton wrapper on a work surface (Keep the remaining wrappers under a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.) Place two fig halves, a few crumbles of Gorgonzola and a sprinkling of nuts just off center on the wonton. Brush the edges of the wrapper with egg; fold one half over the filling to make a triangle and press the edges to seal. Transfer the ravioli to a plate and cover with a damp towel. Repeat until all of the wonton wrappers are filled.
• Heat 1/4 inch of grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium heat. One by one, add the ravioli to the oil; work in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Cook for 2 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until golden brown all the way around. Remove the ravioli to a paper towel-lined plate and keep warm. Serve warm with the apple cider brown butter on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• Whisk the ricotta, spinach, prosciutto, egg yolks, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend Place 1 tablespoon of the ricotta filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Brush the edge of the wrapper lightly with water. Fold the wrapper in half point to point. Pinch the edges to seal. Transfer the ravioli to a baking sheet. (The ravioli can be prepared up to 2hrs ahead; cover and refrigerate)> Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Working in batches, cook the ravioli until just tender, stirring occasionally - about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer the ravioli to a large shallow bowl. Melt butter in a small heavy skillet over medium heat. Add oregano and stir for 1 minute. Pour the oregano butter over the ravioli and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with Pecorino cheese and serve
