Recipe Summary Grande Ravioli Salmone E Vedure
My boyfriend (an Italian chef) made this great pasta dough with calamari ink and I wanted to make something creative with it. I came up with two large ravioli stuffed with flaked cooked salmon, eggplant, spinach, and mixed cheeses. On the side: roasted cherry tomatoes, Parmesan- and garlic-breaded cauliflower, and shredded zucchini. Mmmmm! We both loved it! (Flavored pasta dough is recommended. You can use frozen cauliflower florets; thaw at room temperature before proceeding with the recipe.)Ingredients | Salmon Recipes Pan
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green onion, chopped
1 eggplant, peeled and cubed
sea salt and pepper to taste
1 ¼ cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup fresh spinach
1 cup cooked salmon, flaked
3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons cottage cheese
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
1 pound fresh pasta sheets
4 cups cauliflower florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup dry bread crumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
sea salt and pepper to taste
olive oil cooking spray
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 zucchini, grated
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and the chopped green onion and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the eggplant, salt, and pepper and cook until the eggplant begins to brown, about 7 minutes.
Mix in the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are soft and have given off all of their liquid. Reduce the heat to low and add the spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the salmon, ricotta, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and the dried basil. Mix well and set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pasta dough into a long thin rectangle; the dough should be about 1 millimeter thick. Slice the dough in half, width-wise, to make two rectangles. Spoon half the salmon mixture onto one side of each rectangle. Fold the other side of the rectangle over the filling and press to seal the dough around the filling. Trim the edges to make a nice shape and crimp edges to seal. Repeat with remaining ravioli. Refrigerate ravioli for 1 hour.
Coat the cauliflower with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix together the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour the garlic-bread crumb mixture over the cauliflower and toss to combine.
Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Spray a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. Place the ravioli in the center of the tray. Surround the ravioli with the seasoned cauliflower. Arrange the cherry tomatoes over the cauliflower and top with grated zucchini and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake the ravioli and vegetables in the preheated oven until the cauliflower and zucchini begin to brown, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a spatula to transfer each ravioli to the center of a dinner plate. Spoon cauliflower mixture around the ravioli. Spread 1/2 tablespoon butter on each ravioli, sprinkle with the remaining chopped parsley, and serve.
