Here’s both the salad and ravioli plated for consumption. Nom nom!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons lemon-infused olive oil, plus more for drizzling (I added a little lemon juice to the olive oil.)
- 4 slices prosciutto, cut into thin strips
- 12 ounces fresh whole milk ricotta
- 1 1/2 cups fresh shelled English peas, plus more for garnish (I used frozen peas.)
- Kosher salt and freshly black pepper
- 24 to 36 square wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Drain the ricotta of excess moisture in a fine mesh sieve for 10 to 15 minutes. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the prosciutto and cook until crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- Lightly oil a serving plate with some of the prosciutto crisping oil and put it in a warm oven until ready to serve. (This is important because the wontons will stick otherwise. It would help to lightly oil between ravioli layers.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Add peas and blanch until just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the peas to an ice water bath, to shock and stop the cooking and preserve the color.
- Keep the pot of hot water on the stove to cook the ravioli.
- Transfer the peas to a food processor and puree with the drained ricotta and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Put a teaspoon (or more depending on wonton size) of the pea mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper; avoid overfilling.
- Dampen the inside outer edges of wonton with water and fold, pinching around the borders to ensure that the ravioli is well sealed.
- Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
- Bring the pot of hot water to a boil over medium heat.
- Drop the ravioli, in batches, into the boiling water and cook until tender and the wrapper becomes slightly translucent, about 3 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon or skimmer, transfer the cooked ravioli to the lightly oiled serving plate.
- Drizzle with lemon infused olive oil and top with crispy prosciutto and a few peas. Serve immediately.

Kate did and excellent job with our website. We have received several compliments on how nice it looks and how easy it is to navigate. She also went above and beyond to make sure that we were able to update and the website ourselves through Wordpress. I cannot gush about how awesome she is and how happy we are with the site and her dedication to the project.
Kate has been a fantastic resource for all things digital, whether redesigning my website on Wordpress, fine tuning my social media profiles, or understanding Google Analytics. She's an excellent communicator, and I will absolutely hire her again in the future.
Kate is a real professional and a pleasure to work with. She is a great communicator and always put her client's (my company) interest first. She is tremendously personal and had a great understanding of our business and how she could help it. She is great and is a tremendous asset to any company.
One of the best things I've ever done in my career is work with Kate Hamilton. Her enthusiasm for all things editorial, not to mention her energy and passion for any project she's involved with, is contagious. In addition to being a natural born leader, she's also a creative type, a thinker, a stickler for details, and someone with incredible vision and the drive to get things done. I always marvel at how she is constantly teaching herself new things. She always seems to be ahead of the curve on anything related to social media, and she also has an eye for design. This lady rocks! And she continues to be a mentor to me and others in journalism and communications.
Kate has an incredible amount of drive when it comes to LoganSquarist. In the six months that I’ve been involved, I’ve watched the site grow from a pet project to a respected community publication. This success can be attributed to Kate’s technical and leadership skills. From building out the site to off-hours community management and a consistent flow of content, the site improves by leaps and bounds on a weekly basis. When it comes to team management, Kate delegates tasks in an organized and efficient manner, making her an all around great and inspiring person to work with.
I worked with Kate during my time as a community manager at Lightspan Digital while Kate was my direct manager. Kate’s communication practices really taught me how to navigate the sometimes complicated agency world. As an account manger, Kate smoothly orchestrated 10+ accounts at one time as well as help me manage and prioritize tasks in my role. Kate was a role model during my first few years in the professional world and continues to be so to this day.
I met Kate through the Association of Women Journalists (AWJ) and immediately was impressed (and inspired) by her creativity, drive, work ethic and use of social media. Her passion for journalism, digital media and communications overall is evident in the projects she takes on, including LoganSquarist, an online news outlet that she founded that uses social media to socialize the neighborhood. What I admire about Kate is her vitality as well as her desire to keep learning and growing personally and professionally. Kate is a modern-day renaissance woman who is multitalented (ask about her travel, knitting and marathon exploits!) and who brings instant value to any team or organization.
Kate is a wealth of knowledge who served as a tremendous mentor for all of our team members while constantly improving processes and workflows. She’s a tremendous project manager, pays great attention to detail, and is able to demand results from her team with respect. At LoganSquarist she has built and led a team of dozens of volunteer contributors committed to her vision of a community resource. I would happily work with Kate again anytime!
