Another great #mysterybag2 challenge! Using lasagne sheets to make a cheats ravioli with a delicious fresh pea and ricotta filling and a rich tomato sauce. Served with charred tenderstem brocolli on the side for a veggie extra. Works with dried lasagne sheets too so (apart from the ricotta) all the ingredients are cupboard or freezer based and makes for a great #workingfromhome option.

From the mystery bag using; pasta, tomatoes (tinned), broccoli, peas ( frozen), cheese, egg and red chilli (dried).

Steps

1

Heat the oil in a saucepan with the thinly sliced garlic.
2

Once the garlic has softened and started turning golden brown, add the tin tomatoes and half of the tin filled with water. Mix and mash the tomatoes down if required.
3

Add the dried herbs, sugar, chilli flakes and salt and pepper, then simmer on a low/medium heat.
4

Boil some water and pour half in a large shallow pan and set to medium heat.
5

Put the peas in a bowl covered with boiling water and microwave for two minutes.
6

Drain the peas and then blend with the ricotta, lemon zest and a pinch of salt and pepper (adjusting to taste) to make the filling.
7

OPTION FOR A QUICK OPEN RAVIOLI VERSION - boil the lasagne until cooked, cut each sheet into 3 pieces, place into the bowl with a spoonful of filling then fold the sheet over to create loose ravioli.
8

For true ravioli continue here: Boil each lasagne sheet in the shallow pan for 2 mins, then remove gently and place on a board.
9

Pat dry and then cut into 6 pieces.
10

Spoon a heaped teaspoon of filling onto the smallest 3 pieces. Dab a thin border of egg wash around the filling.
11

Place the other piece of lasagne sheet over the top and press down around the edges, squeezing the air out as you go.
12

Let sit whilst you do the other two ravioli. Cut any thin overlaps around the edges, pushing the knife down.
13

Whilst making the ravioli, steam the broccoli over the sauce until cooked. Coat the broccoli lightly with oil, salt and pepper and pan fry or grill until slightly charred.
14

Repeat steps 8-12 until you have enough ravioli and have used up all the lasagne sheets.
15

Cook the ravioli gently for 2 mins in a pan of boiling water.
16

Serve with the tomato sauce and a grating of parmesan with the broccoli on the side.
