Ravioli Of Smashed Broad Beans, Mint And Ricotta

Spiritual pride is very apt to suspect others, but a humble saint is most jealous of himself. He is as suspicious of nothing in the world as he is of his own heart. The spiritually proud person is apt to find fault with other saints...and to be quick to notice their deficiencies. But the eminently humble Christian has so much to do at home, and sees so much evil in his own heart, and is so concerned about it, that he is not apt to be very busy with other hearts... Pure Christian humility disposes a person to take notice of everything that is good in others, and to make the most of it, and to diminish their failings, but to give his eye chiefly on those things that are bad in himself.

INSTRUCTIONS

If the broad beans are very small and soft, you can use them raw.  If
they are medium to large, blanch in unsalted boiling water until  just
tender.  2 Remove the skins after blanching if they are slightly tough.
Smash  or finely chop half the beans and leave the other half whole.
Put all  the beans into a bowl with the chopped mint to taste, olive
oil and  ricotta.  3 Lightly fork this through, adding the Parmesan and
seasoning to  taste. Stuff the ravioli with the filling - make sure the
edges are  completely sealed. Cook in gently boiling salted water for
3-4  minutes until tender and drain.  4 Serve drizzled with a little
extra olive oil, and scattered with the  extra broad beans, chopped
mint and some freshly grated or shaved  Parmesan.  Converted by
