Nettle and Spinach Ravioli with
Blue Cheese Sauce and
Brown Butter-Walnut Pesto
Recipe
A decidedly Irish take on an Italian classic, this rich, flavorful dish uses Ireland’s famous Cashel Blue cheese and tender spring nettles—a wild green that became popular out of necessity during the great famine.
