AWESOME AUBS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the Aubergine chunks on a roasting tray, coat in oil, season and evenly spread out, skin-side down. Roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes, shifting occasionally, until soft.
Lemon-BASIL Ricotta
Bring a pot (for the ravioli) of salted water to the boil. Roughly tear ½ of the picked basil leaves. Combine the Ricotta with lemon zest – to taste, the torn basil, a drizzle of oil, and season. When the Aubergine has 10 minutes to go, toss ½ the lemon-basil ricotta through the aubergine and return to the oven. This will help caramelise and give the ricotta a slightly smoky taste.
BOILED & DRESSED
When the water is boiling, cook the ravioli for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion. Gently toss through some oil to prevent sticking. Set aside. Place the rinsed green leaves in a bowl and toss with a drizzle of oil and seasoning.
TOASTING
Place a pan (large enough for the ravioli) over a medium heat with the sunflower seeds. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool.
CRISP FINISH
When the ravioli is done, return the pan to a medium-high heat with 30g of butter and a drizzle of oil. When the butter foams, add some Lemon juice (to taste), and the ravioli in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden, gently shaking the pan regularly to prevent sticking. Add the roasted Ricotta-Aubergine, the remaining fresh ricotta, and the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Toss to combine and season to taste.
RAVISHING RAVIOLI
Dish up the ravioli. Top with the remaining basil. Side with the green leaves. Garnish with the toasted sunflower seeds. Drizzle over some balsamic glaze. There you have it!
