Dream of the Mountain Ravioli with Lemon, Spring Vegetables and Crumbled Bacon

Dream of the Mountain Ravioli with Lemony Spring Vegetables & Crumbled Bacon

Our Dream of the Mountain ravioli is a specialty item at Sigona’s – the only place on earth you can find it! The filling is made with a cheese hand-selected and named by our own cheese buyer during a trip to Switzerland, and the ravioli are crafted by local pasta maker Saporito Pasta in Redwood City. This is a delicious way to incorporate spring vegetables to your dinner. Don’t forget to finish the dish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice! Serves 2 to 4.

Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 3 slices of bacon
  • 1 pkg of Sigona’s Dream of the Mountain Ravioli 12 oz
  • 2 TBSP unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 tsp lemon juice plus more for finishing
  • 1/2 cup Fresh English peas
  • 1/2 cup fava beans if you use the fresh favas, and we hope you do, find tips for shelling and preparing fava beans on our blog
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino-Romano cheese plus more for topping
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Directions: Fill a large pot with salted water and set it on the stove to heat to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, fry the bacon over medium-high in a large skillet until crispy. Remove from heat, transfer bacon to a plate and pour out all but about 1 teaspoon of the rendering. Set skillet and bacon aside while you prepare the ravioli.
  • Cook ravioli according to package directions, reserving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.
  • When ravioli is cooked, heat the skillet with the bacon rendering over medium. Add the butter, lemon zest and juice. When butter is melted, add the peas, fava beans and 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking liquid. Cook for 2 minutes then add in the ravioli and the cheese, adding another tablespoon or three to keep the ravioli from sticking and also to make for a light sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Stir together and cook another 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the ingredients are warmed through.
  • Transfer the ravioli to individual serving dishes, crumble the bacon on top and sprinkle with more cheese. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and serve immediately.
