Ricotta Beet Green Ravioli
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 4 cups Chopped Beet Greens, Washed Well
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1 cup Ricotta
- 3 Tablespoons Parmigiano-reggiano, Freshly Grated
- 1 whole Egg
- 1/4 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt, Divided
- 1/4 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 package (12 Oz. Size) Wonton Wrappers
- 1/4 cups Water, For Sealing Wontons
- 1- 1/2 stick Butter, Or 2 Tablespoons Per Serving
- 36 sprigs (or More) Fresh Sage, Or 6-8 Sprigs Per Serving
- First, saute the beet greens.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, coarsely chop beet greens.
- Add chopped beet greens and minced garlic into the hot skillet.
- Saute until wilted, about 6-8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- To make the filling, in a medium-sized bowl add ricotta, Parmesan, egg, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Stir in the cooled greens until combined.
- On a large work surface, lay out a few of the wonton skins and place about 1 teaspoon of filling on each skin.
- (Note: Only do a few at a time.
- Keep the rest of the wonton skins under a damp towel until you are ready to work with them.)
- Brush the edges of the wonton skin with water, fold it over into a triangle and gently press the edges together until sealed.
- Place filled wontons on a large cookie sheet to freeze (see note below) or reserve under a damp towel to prepare immediately.
- Repeat with the rest of the wontons and filling.
- To prepare the wontons/ravioli, bring a large pot of water up to a rapid boil.
- Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to water.
- Drop ravioli into boiling water and cook until ravioli float to the surface, about 2-4 minutes.
- Serve with sage brown butter sauce.
- For the sage brown butter sauce, add butter to a light-colored skillet (this allows you to best see the color of the butter and prevent it from burning).
- Melt butter over medium heat until it starts to foam, about 3-5 minutes.
- After the foaming subsides, add sage (about 6-8 sprigs per serving).
- Continuously swirl the sage in the pan and carefully watch the color of the butter.
- You may want to remove the pan from the heat occasionally.
- It will take about 2-4 minutes for your butter to become a caramel color.
- Remove from heat and serve with ravioli.
- Note: To freeze wontons after filling them, layer wontons between plastic wrap on a large baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 8 hours.
- Place frozen wontons in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.
