4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
570 grams Boiling potatoes ie Maris Piper or
; Desiree
4 Cloves garlic; peeled
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
55 grams Butter
150 grams Two contrasting varieties of cheese ie
; Gorgonzola and Parmesan
Grated nutmeg to taste
2 Good handfuls of watercress; large stalks (2 to
3)
; removed
455 grams Fresh sheet pasta
Extra olive oil or butter; cheese and
; watercress to serve

Directions

1 Wash and peel the potatoes, put into very salted boiling water with the garlic and cook until the potatoes are just tender - don't over or under cook them.

2 Drain for about five minutes to enable the excess water to evaporate - if you overcook them or don't drain them properly, they'll be too moist and your filling will be too wet.

3 When the potatoes have cooled slightly, add your butter and chosen cheese. Stir and fork through to mix and break up the potatoes. Add the nutmeg and seasoning to taste.

4 Stir in the watercress, half finely chopped and the rest coarsely chopped. Stuff the ravioli with a good heaped tsp of mix and cook in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes until tender.

5 Serve with some extra olive oil or butter, some more of the cheese grated over the top and some ripped up watercress.
