Spring Pea Ravioli with Parmesan & Mint

One of my favorite things about farmer’s market season is being able to get fresh peas.  I used to loathe peas, because growing up we always ate them out of cans (Le Seur cans, but still.)  Fresh peas were a revelation to me.  If you think you don’t like peas, do yourself a favor and try fresh ones, that you have to excavate from their pod.  It’s worth the effort. Just pop them in a pot of boiling water for five minutes and eat them with a little ,melted butter on top, salt and pepper.  You will be amazed, I promise.  

If you’re looking for something a little more complex, try these ravioli.  They’re DELICIOUS, and very easy to make, but they look and sound impressive, so you can use them to impress people with your superior sounding culinary skills.  I free handed mine, but this recipe is a very good one as well.

Do it.  You’ll thank me.
