  1. BUBBLING AWAY

    Boil the kettle. Place a pot for the ravioli over a high heat. Fill with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and bring back up to the boil. Once boiling, cook the ravioli for 2-3 minutes until they begin to float and are heated through. Drain on completion, reserving a cup of pasta water, and return to the pot. Toss through some oil to prevent sticking.

  2. PREP & PESTO

    Finely chop the sunflower seeds and ½ the rinsed Rocket. Place in a bowl with ½ the chopped basil, the grated Garlic (to taste), the grated cheese, 50ml of olive oil, and seasoning. Mix until fully combined. Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a blender and pulse until combined.

  3. ALL TOGETHER NOW

    When the ravioli is done, pour over the homemade Rocket pesto and add the chopped peppers. Mix until fully combined. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick. Season to taste. In a bowl, toss the remaining rocket with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning.

  4. RAVISHING Rocket RAVIOLI!

    Plate up the Rocket pesto ravioli. Top with the quartered bocconcini balls and drizzle over the balsamic reduction (to taste). Sprinkle over the remaining basil and the cheese ribbons. Side with the dressed rocket. Dig in, Chef!
