9 oz packaged cheese ravioli
1/4 butter
3 c sliced peaches
1/3 c hazelnuts
1/4 c shredded Parmesan cheese
2 T chopped parsley
1 t lemon zest
Cook ravioli per package direction. Drain, keep warm. Heat butter in large pan until browned. Add peaches, hazelnuts, parsley, lemon zest. Add ravioli. Toss to coat. Season to taste with salt.
Did the name of this already freak you out? Do you think it's an affront to pasta and peaches? All reason enough for me to try this dish.
Easy to make, quick to put together. And really really good. It's not weird. The brown butter sauce is creamy and just sweet enough to complement the peaches. And honestly, the peaches are not a whole lot sweeter than a good summer tomato. Hazelnuts provide a delicious crunch, and the fresh parsley and lemon zest are just enough of a counterpoint that the dish doesn't feel like dessert. I will not substitute this dish for a good traditional Italian pasta dish, but this is a delicious and different summer alternative. Try it out, you won't regret it.
