Ravioli with Arugula & Pecorino

Category: PASTA

Ingredients:

1 pound fresh or frozen cheese ravioli , preferably whole-wheat
1 large clove garlic , minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large shallots , sliced
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground pepper to taste
6 cups arugula
1/2 cup shaved Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese (see Tip)


Steps:


1: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook ravioli until tender, 7 to 9 minutes or according to package directions.

2: Meanwhile, mash garlic and salt into a paste with the side of a chef’s knife or back of a spoon. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic paste and shallots and cook, stirring often, until just starting to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar, mustard and pepper; remove from the heat.

3: Drain the ravioli well. Place in a large bowl and toss with arugula and the dressing. Serve sprinkled with cheese.
