    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: BugzBunny

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 pound ricotta-stuffed ravioli
    1 bunch thin asparagus, cut on deep in a angle
    10 ounce bag frozen peas, thawed overnight in refrigerator
    3 - 4 big handfuls baby spinach, washed (any stems removed - optional)
    a couple splashes of extra-virgin olive oil
    1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
    fine grain sea salt
    Parmesan cheese, for garnish

    Recipe



    Prep all of your ingredients ahead of time - cut asparaus, wash spinach, etc.
    Into an extra-large pot of well-salted boiling water add the raviolis. After a few minutes, when a couple of the raviolis begin to float, add the asparagus and peas. Because the asparagus is thin and the peas aren't frozen, you'll need to cook them only for about a minute - really quick, just enough to brighten up the peas and give the asparagus a touch of tenderness.
    Drain everything into a large colander. Immediately transfer to a large bowl, add the spinach and pine nuts, and gently toss with a couple big splashes of olive oil and a pinch or two of salt. Serve in a big bowl or on a simple platter with a bit shaved Parmesan crumbled on top.
