Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lemon infused olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 4 slices prosciutto, cut into thin strips
- 12 ounces fresh whole milk ricotta
- 1 1/2 cups fresh shelled English peas, plus more for garnish
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 24 to 36 square wonton wrappers
Directions
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Heat the oil in a skillet, over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and cook until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
Lightly oil a serving plate with some of the prosciutto crisping oil and put it in a warm oven until ready to serve.
Drain the ricotta of excess moisture in a fine mesh sieve for 10 to 15 minutes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add the peas and blanch them until just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the peas to an ice water bath, to shock and stop the cooking and preserve the color. Keep the pot of hot water on the stove to cook the ravioli.
Transfer the peas to a food processor and puree with the drained ricotta and salt and pepper, to taste. Put a teaspoon (or more depending on wonton size) of the pea mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper; avoid overfilling. Dampen the inside outer edges of wonton with water and fold, pinching around the borders to ensure that the ravioli is well sealed. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Bring the pot of hot water to a boil over medium heat.
Drop the ravioli, in batches, into the boiling water and cook until tender and the wrapper becomes slightly translucent, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon or skimmer, transfer the cooked ravioli to the lightly oiled serving plate. Drizzle with lemon infused olive oil and top with crispy prosciutto and a few peas. Serve immediately.

Didn't have the recipe for the infused oil. She didn't post it . It had very little taste.I wish she would have said where the infused oil came from.

Had this recipe over at my in-laws house and loved it so much that I made it the following week for my dinner guests. I had some filling left over and used it on toasted french bread rubbed with a garlic clove as an appetizer...yummy! Keep 'em coming Claire!!

To. Die. For. I made my own lemon infused olive oil by steeping a 2x3 in. piece of lemon rind (no pith in olive oil over a low heat for 10 minutes and then allowing it to sit overnight. I also made my own ricotta (this is dead easy! I'll never buy ricotta again by heating whole organic milk to a simmer and adding a small amount of white vinegar (2 cups milk to 2 tablespoons acid - then drain it in a strainer with cheesecloth (or high quality paper towels work fine.
I had no problems with the won ton wrappers, and the filling is absolutely killer. I had to use frozen peas because I couldn't find fresh and it was STILL so good. I even broke my rule about red meat because there's just a little prosciutto - and it adds a huge amount of flavor.
I have leftovers of the filling which I think I'm going to serve on bruschetta. Thank you Claire, this was absolutely divine!!!
