Ramps and goat cheese pesto

It’s finally spring time! If you take a walk in the woods or nearby park you might spot this bright green pointy leaves sticking out of the ground sometimes they have little cute tiny white flowers, these are propably ramps. Ramps are usually easily recognizable, but always check reliable resources to make sure. This plant is often confused with Lilly of the Valley which is quite poisonous. If uncertain most farmer’s markets and fancy supermarkets carries them but a bit pricy around $20 per lbs. I wanted to try this new pesto sauce which I used as stuffing in this “Raviolo” a large square raviolo recipe. Below is the recipe on how to prepare it.

This pesto can be done easily with a regular food processor but I prefer using an immersion blender which is less messy and less dishes and parts to clean :). Add all ingredients to whatever vessel you’re using add a tablespoon of lemon juice start blending and slowly add olive oil. This pesto can be used with any pita chips, or crackers of your taste. Just a note though, when making this pesto for the “Raviolo” monitor the amount of olive oil and do not make the pesto too liquid or this will make the ravioli dough hard to stick.
