What have I found in my fridge? Another quick recipe for a delicious dinner. Ravioli with ham, tomato and cheese.

Another long day of work. Meetings, tastings and more phone calls.
Back home, what have I got to cook?
I passed by my lovely stockist Italo Deli in Vauxall (you MUST go if you haven't yet!). As always I have got their amazing fresh ravioli pasta. Today's filling is a classic: spinach and ricotta.



Back home I have:
Onion
Garlic
EV Olive Oil
Tomatoes
Fresh Basil
Salt and Pepper
a little piece of Prosciutto Bazzone (our bespoke ham)
more leftovers: a piece of young pecorino with herbs and smaller piece of mature pecorino



Let's make a quick pasta then.
Side A: Boil water.
Side B: Frying pan + ev olive oil. Let the olive oil get warm enough, then add chopped garlic and onion.





Let them get golden and add the tomato sliced and diced ham.



Mix all and stir it for 3-4 minutes. Add salt and black pepper. Another minute or two and turn off the fire.
Once the pasta is cooked (the fresh ravioli only take 4-5 minutes to cook) add it to the pan and mix it with the sauce (turn the fire back on).



At this time add basil and cheeses.





Mix all together for 2 minutes more.



And there you go.



This was so simple and with a good glass of red DOC Macchion Del Lupo it's just a perfect dinner. Nom Nom.
