Pulled pork in ravioli?

[Wood Chunk Chick]

Hi there, all

I am looking for ideas, suggestions, and inspiration. Or even, "for the love of all that is good, don't even try this!" if that's applicable :-)

I have a bunch of pulled pork and have been thinking for a while now that I could incorporate that into a ravioli meal, but am not sure what would be the best fillings for it, and am hoping someone may already have tried or is interested as well.

I was thinking an egg pasta and using the pork with ricotta blended with garlic, mashed sweet potato and either asiago or parm cheeses as the stuffing. However, that sounds possibly a bit "off". It will be my first time making ravioli as well, so I'd like to try something fun and different.

Any thoughts, ideas, and suggestions are more than appreciated! Thank you in advance

How about doing some kind of fried ravioli?

I could try that, definitely. I am not used to making my own pasta, so I am not sure how to keep it sticking together in a fry situation. I'd probably want to coat the outside as well. Good idea to investigate, though :-)

You can use PP, or any smoked roasted meat you want

The combo of Sweet Potato, Garlic, Pork and Aged Cheese is fine. But that is going to be a wet difficult to work with filling, adding Ricotta. Leave it out or skip the Sweet Potato in favor of forcefully rung out frozen Spinach. Either way, don't forget the fresh grated Nutmeg...JJ

Thank you! Do you believe cream cheese, in a small amount mixed with another, harder cheese, would do better? And I see your point as sweet potato can already be creamy, so no need to overdo it :-)

Any kind of ravioli sounds good to me!

PP ravioli with a smothered in a cheddar cheese sauce sounds good to me.

A little Cream Cheese would add some tang without a lot of moisture. Sounds good...JJ

Unfortunately, I didn't. Had some issues crop up at home that needed attention, so the pulled pork was used for quickie dinners (sammiches) instead. Next batch I make will have some of it going into pasta using these wonderful ideas
