Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup roasted pistachios, shelled
  • juice + zest of 2 lemons
  • kosher salt + pepper
  • 40-50 circle or square wonton wrappers
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch until just tender, about 1-2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  • In a food processor, combine 3/4 of the blanched asparagus, basil, ricotta, parmesan, pistachios, lemon zest and juice, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Pulse until combined and smooth.
  • Lay out about 6 wrappers. Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each wrapper. Brush the edges with water. Lay a second wrapper on top of each ravioli. Press down the edges to seal, pressing out all the air. Crimp the edges with a fork. Keep the ravioli covered as you work to prevent them from drying out.
  • In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chives and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the ravioli in batches for 1-2 minutes or until they float. Drain.
  • Divide the ravioli among bowls and ladle the butter sauce over them. Top with the remaining asparagus and serve immediately.
