How to Prepare Cheesy Potato Ravioli With Nettle Pesto [Vegan]

  1. Mix flour and prepare the dough by adding the water necessary to obtain a firm dough. Knead well on a clean work surface. Close it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Wash the nettles or herbs, then blanch in salted water for 5 minutes. Thinly slice the leek and let it rest in 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. After some minutes, add a little water. When the leeks become translucent, add to the blanched and squeezed nettles. Add salt and 1/2 cup of vegetable broth.
  3. Cook for 10 minutes over low heat, add basil, then using an immersion blender, blend until smooth. It must be a smooth cream and not too runny. If necessary, add a little more broth or water.
  4. Boil the potatoes whole. Once soft, peel and mash.
  5. In a pan, cook crushed garlic in olive oil. Remove garlic, add potatoes, parsley, chives, lemon zest, salt, and pepper and cook for a few minutes. Add nutritional yeast and mix well.
  6. Roll out the dough and cut into long, flat strips about 4 3/4-inches wide. Using a spoon, place a teaspoon of potato filling every 3 inches. Leave one-half of the dough bare.
  7. Fold the dough over itself, gently releasing any air trapped inside, then seal the edges.
  8. With a toothed wheel, cut the ravioli. Cook them in salted water for about 5 minutes. Toss with the hot nettle pesto, and enjoy with olive oil.

  1. I tried it. I’m sure someone else did it better, but the pasta recipe was very difficult to work with. I used nettles, basil and chives from my garden and it was avery bland dish. Luckily we had great bread and Miyoko’s butter.
