Goat Cheese-Ramp Ravioli With Tomato Broth And Shiitakes

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

ramp ravioli peas shiitake mushrooms tomato broth

Inevitably in spring time I have an excess of ramp leaves. If you like ramps or have a friend that knows where some grow, you likely do too. This recipe is a great example of how you can be creative with them.

I like to keep some fresh, filled pasta around for when friends stop by or when I’m not feeling up to making something labor intensive. If you feel like making the whole dish or only the ravioli, the sub-recipes are valuable here.

The ramp ravioli here can be individually frozen and then placed in plastic bags, then all you need to do is reach into the freezer and toss them in boiling water. The simple tomato broth is a crystal clear one, it could also be the base of a soup or cooked down to make a light sauce.

Goat Cheese-Ramp Ravioli with Tomato Broth, Peas, and Shiitakes

Serves 4 as a light entree, to be accompanied by a salad or additional courses.

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe tomato broth follows
  • Two cups peas preferably english shell peas
  • 5 oz shiitake mushrooms thinly sliced 1/4 inch
  • Goat Cheese-Ramp Ravioli

Pasta dough

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup semolina flour
  • teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp of water

Goat cheese-ramp filling

  • 20 Ramp leaves blanched for 5 seconds in boiling salted water, then shocked in ice water
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 4 oz soft chevre/goat cheese

Instructions

Dough

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine all ingredients until the dough pulls away from the bowl and is springy when touched, about 5 minutes.
  • If the dough does not want to come together or looks dry, simply add another tbsp of water and keep mixing on the lowest setting of your mixer.
  • When the dough is nice and springy to the touch, remove it and wrap in plastic wrap for 10 minutes or so, this allows the dough to rest, making it easier to roll out.
  • Squeeze and drain the ramp leaves. then chop the blanched and shocked ramp leaves finely.
  • Put these in a blender and puree until very smooth, you should end up with about a 1/4-1/3 cup of super green ramp leaf puree.
  • If it is not very smooth, add a tbsp of water and puree in the blender again, making sure not to overmix and heat the mixture though, which would turn it brown. Mix the puree with the cheese and reserve.

Fill and shape the ravioli

  • Roll out the pasta dough, using 1/4 of the batch each time. Roll it out to the thinnest setting of the pasta roller, this should be "0".  Cut out individual circles with a glass of a or a ring mold. You will want two circles per ravioli.
  • lightly brush the bottom circle of each ravioli with beaten egg, then place a tbsp of the ramp goat cheese mixture in the middle of each ravioli, sealing with a top circle of pasta dough.
  • From here the ravioli can be dusted with semolina flour and frozen on a cookie sheet, make sure they are not touching each other though, this can make them crack and break when you try to cook them. The ravioli will keep for a month in the freezer.

Finishing and plating

  • Heat the peas, broth and mushrooms, season with salt to taste and a splash of champagne vinegar
  • Boil some salted water and cook the ravioli until they are tender and cooked through, about 3 minutes, 6 minutes if previously frozen.
  • Place 4 ravioli in each of four preheated dinner bowls, ladling a cup or so of tomato broth, peas and mushrooms over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Makes about 20 4 inch ravioli, more if you reuse the leftover dough.

Some nice wild enoki clones from @unkle_fungus Can Some nice wild enoki clones from @unkle_fungus Cant wait until these start popping up when the snow melts. The difference between the coloration of wild ones (pic 1) and cultivated that are white from the lack of sun (pic 2) is always interesting to compare. (The cultivated ones are a different species of Flammulina too). 

We’re really lucky to have such a vibrant community of small, local mushroom growers and related makers. Feel free to tag your favorite you like or one I should know about in the comments.

The spruce tip liquor I collaborated on with @ida_graves_distillery drinks like a mildly piney gin. Dangerously easy to drink. #sprucetips #craftliquor #drinkatree #itsmybirthdaybitches #im25again
Social media can be a wall-to-wall, endless string Social media can be a wall-to-wall, endless string of triumphs. We all know reality isn’t like that, so with the snow melting here, I thought I’d share a funny maple season fail with you (at the time it was not funny).

I was making maple soda out of sap, sweetfern and syrup that I like. I’d kept the glass bottle of soda in the fridge for a couple weeks, waiting for a good time to get to it. I’d started the mother batch with a pinch of commercial champagne yeast, which is vigorous stuff. 

One night I got up and poured myself a glass of water, and sleepily forgot to close the fridge all the way, which increased the temp. A few hours later I woke up to what sounded like a grenade going off. 

The bottle exploded and the inside of the fridge, all its contents, and the floor were covered with sticky maple juice, and I spent the next two hours mopping and picking out shards of glass that had embedded themselves like shrapnel in the walls of the fridge. 

Now, I use plastic restaurant cambros to make carbonated drinks. 💫

My chief editorial assistant about to do backflips My chief editorial assistant about to do backflips for smoked goat kidneys. 

If you would have asked me a few years ago if I would see myself writing recipes (and filming videos) on making dog treats I would have laughed. 

But, working with @shepherdsongfarm, trying to figure out creative, economical methods for butchery and whole carcass utilization for lamb and goat has pushed my creativity into new places. Grateful for that. 💫

If you get down on kidneys, I have a good version for humans on my site too. A good piece of charcuterie to know.

7pm ET tonight on @the_outdoor_channel I take @dan 7pm ET tonight on @the_outdoor_channel I take @danielvitalis hunting for mushrooms and pigeons in WI, then I cook dinner on the farm for @wild.fed, his outdoors series that shows that wild food is much more than just meat. 

If you don’t have the outdoor channel, you could use the free trial of @frndlytv that will let you watch it live. 

Finished dishes I did were pigeon brochettes with rams bacon, sunflower roulades and wild cherry sauce and pigeon, sweet corn and wild mushroom stew.

After watching an old episode of Munchies (see You After watching an old episode of Munchies (see YouTube/Vice) I scribbled down a prep for yellow foot chanterelles a Swedish food truck was making. They took flatbread (tonnebrod, but I use lefse, because 🇳🇴💪) piled high with hot yellowfeet and fresh kraut, mayo, Västerbotten cheese (fontina or Hushållsost are ok subs). 

It’s one of the best ways I’ve had yellowfeet, like a funky, cheese, Nordic burrito. Just killer. 

I even forgot my lefse and served some to family in a couple BS flour tortillas Grandma had (heresy, IK) —still didn’t suck. 

Props to @ingebretsens in Mpls for making their own lefse since my Norwegian Grandma wasn’t  around. I channeled her though.
