Rana Ricotta & Spinach Ravioli with Carbonara-Inspired Sauce

1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for cooking the pasta later. Plus, bring a medium-size shallow pot, filled with at least 4 in. (10 cm) water, to a simmer for poaching the eggs later. (Tip: Add about 1 tbsp (15 mL) white vinegar to the poaching water to help firm egg whites.) Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Lay Panache Prosciutto slices in a single layer on parchment. Bake until crisp and golden, 8 to 10 min. Set aside to cool.

2Meanwhile, heat olive oil in saucepan over medium heat, sauté the diced Fantino and Mondello Prosciutto Cotto 4 to 5 min. Stir in the alfredo sauce, gouda cheese, black pepper and ¼ cup (60 mL) water (or vegetable broth, if desired). Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often. Turn off heat; cover to keep warm. Finely chop half the parsley (reserve remaining); set aside.

3 Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions. (If the sauce needs loosening, stir in a splash of pasta water or plain water.) Drain the pasta; gently stir it in the sauce, along with the chopped parsley, to coat. Cover and keep warm.

4Poach the eggs (1 per serving) in barely simmering water until whites are firm and yolks still runny, 3 to 5 min. Plate ravioli mixture and sauce. Using a slotted spoon, top each dish with a poached egg. Garnish with reserved parsley leaves, lemon zest and reserved crisped prosciutto slices (or crumble the crisped prosciutto to sprinkle over top). Enjoy!
