PREP TIME: 40 MINS

COOKING TIME: 30 MINS

SERVES: 6-10 (8 RAVIOLI FOR A MAIN
5 RAVIOLI FOR A STARTER)

INGREDIENTS

 

800g Spud Lite potatoes, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 brown onion, peeled and finely diced

1 clove garlic, crushed

100g pancetta, finely chopped

2 eggs, separated

1/3 cup grated parmesan

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon lemon zest

Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

1kg round dumpling wrappers

Chilli flakes (optional), to serve

 

NUT BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

 

100g pancetta, thinly sliced

250g unsalted butter, diced

2 tablespoons baby capers, drained 

¼ cup baby sage leaves

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper

METHOD

 

Step 1
For the filling, place potatoes in a small saucepan covered in cold water over medium heat and bring to the boil. Cook for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash using a ricer. Return mash to saucepan over a low heat, stirring continuously to prevent mash sticking, to help dry potato out and remove excess moisture. Allow to cool completely.

Step 2
Heat olive oil in non-stick frying pan over a low heat. Add onion, garlic and pancetta, stirring to combine. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until onion is soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 3
In a large mixing bowl place mashed potato, cooked onion mixture, egg yolks, parmesan, nutmeg, zest, salt and pepper together, stirring until well combined.

Step 4
For the ravioli, place 1 tablespoon of potato mixture in the centre of approximately 26 dumpling wrappers and brush the edges with egg white. Place a second dumpling wrapper on top and carefully seal the edges firmly, enclosing the potato filling.

Step 5
For the nut-brown butter sauce, place pancetta in a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook for 3 minutes until cooked through but not crispy. Add butter, stirring occasionally until melted and foamy bubbles start appearing. Stir occasionally until the milk solids caramelise and turn a golden brown. Add capers and sage leaves, stirring to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Set aside until required.

Step 6
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add ravioli and cook for 5 minutes or until ravioli are cooked. Drain. Return to pan with nut-brown butter sauce, tossing gently until well coated. Serve immediately with chilli flakes.
