Beef And Herb Love Letters With Mixed Herb And Pea Pesto

1. 1

   In a medium skillet over medium high heat, cook the onion in 1 Tbs butter with salt and pepper until just translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add the beef and cook until browned thoroughly and no pink remains.

2. 2

   Add the beef mixture to a food processor with herbs, horseradish, parmesan, and the additional 1 Tbs butter and process briefly to combine and break up the ground beef. Because the beef is cooked, you can taste here for seasoning and add salt/pepper to taste.

3. 3

   To assemble the ravioli, place wontons in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush the edge of each wonton with water, either using a pastry brush or your fingertip. Place a teaspoon of the beef mixture in the center of each wonton and fold in half, pushing out any air from the center to the edges before sealing. I then fold the corners towards one another to make a hat-shaped raviolo, but the shape is up to you!

4. 4

   Cook the ravioli in a pot of salted boiling water for about 4 minutes. Gently remove from water with a slotted spoon to your plate. Keep the water at a boil for the peas in the next step.

5. 5

   Combine the first 4 ingredients in a food processor and pulse to combine. With the processor running, slowly add the olive oil until you have reached smooth consistency (not liquid - you may add pasta water later to thin if necessary.) Salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Cook the peas in the boiling water after the ravioli have been removed, just to heat through, about 2 minutes. Drain (reserving 1/2 cup of pasta/pea water in case you would like to thin the consistency of your pesto) and add to the pesto sauce. Spoon pesto over the ravioli and enjoy!
