Add peas and cook until tender (2-3 min). Drain and set aside. In a heavy bottomed pan, add 1-2 tbsp of olive oil and begin to sweat the garlic and shallots. Do not brown. Once the garlic and shallot are tender, add the peas and whole mint leaves (on the stems is fine, they will be removed later). Glaze the peas in the olive oil for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl. Place the bowl filled with peas on top of a larger bowl that is filled with ice and some water. This will help cool them down fast. Once cooled to 40ºF, pick out the mint leaves and place all the peas into a robot coupe (or any food processor) and blend until smooth. Transfer into a bowl and add the mascarpone, parmesan and ricotta. Mix well and transfer into a pastry bag and refrigerate. FOR THE RAVIOLI: Mound the flour on a work surface and form a well. Beat the olive oil, 1.5 eggs, and milk in a bowl. Pour half the egg mixture into the well. Begin mixing the egg with the flour with one hand; use your other hand to keep the flour mound steady. Add the remaining egg mixture and knead to form a dough. Knead the dough until smooth, 8 to 10 minutes; add more flour if the dough is too sticky. Form the dough into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets no thicker than a nickel. To assemble the ravioli, brush the egg wash over a sheet of pasta. Drop the pea filling mixture on the dough, 1 tbsp each, about one inch apart. Cover the filling with the top sheet of pasta, pressing out the air from around each portion of filling. Press firmly around the filling to seal. Cut into individual ravioli with a knife or pizza cutter. Seal the edges. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the ravioli, and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the ravioli float to the top and the filling is hot, 4 to 8 minutes. While the pasta is cooking, begin re-heating the vegetable garnish. Add butter to the pan and melt until golden brown, then add the blanched vegetables and pea leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Add the drained ravioli to the garnish. Give the pan a couple of swirls and then plate. RECIPE FROM: https://www.cbsnews.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
