We made this as a filling for ravioli and they were absolutely delicious! They do however stick together if you are not careful, so if you want to take an easier route, just make lasagna instead.



Serves:

Enough filling for ravioli or lasagna for 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cashews, soaked for about 4 hours and rinsed

1 tablespoon olive oil

3/4 cup water

1/4 cup basil, chopped

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Salt, to taste

6 oz prosciutto

2 large bundles spinach, chopped

1 onion, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, finely chopped

 

 

Instructions

Place oil and cashews into blender with a bit of water.

Blend, adding water as needed to get everything moving smoothly in your blender.

Add the rest of the ingredients, blending until well mixed.

Adjust seasonings as necessary.

Sauté the onions and garlic until slightly browned. Put aside.

Sauté spinach until it is fully wilted. Add to the onions and garlic.

Sauté the prosciutto until browned. Add to the rest of the filling.

Mix all of the filling ingredients together, making sure everything is well incorporated.

Then either fill into fresh pasta dough to form ravioli or spoon between layers of lasagna noodles.
