Ingredients
1/2 c. whole-milk ricotta
1/4 c. grated Parmesan
2 tbsp. finely chopped peeled or unpeeled pear
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Pinch of grated fresh nutmeg
1 large egg
1 (12-oz.) package wonton wrappers
1 c. heavy cream
1/2 c. grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving (optional)
Preparation
Step 1In a large bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, pear, salt, and nutmeg. In a small bowl, whisk egg with a splash of water.Step 2Arrange wrappers on baking sheets and brush with egg wash. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon filling in the center of each wrapper.Step 3Gather sides of wrapper and press together to form a shape that resembles a ghost. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers. Freeze at least 30 minutes or up to 2 weeks.
Step 1In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, bring cream to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and whisk in Parmesan and salt until cheese melts.Step 2Bring a large pot of salted water to a bare simmer. Working in batches, drop in ravioli and cook until they float and turn slightly translucent, 2 to 3 minutes (it helps to take one out and test to see if they’re al dente).Step 3Pour some sauce on a platter. Using a slotted spoon, transfer ravioli to platter. Continue to layer ravioli and sauce. Sprinkle with more Parmesan and parsley, if using, before serving.
