This is indulgent comfort food, simple to prepare but will wow your guests at your next dinner party. Key is to have very ripe figs. I used fresh store bought ravioli. Here's how to do it:
Peel and quarter 6-12 fresh figs, set aside. In bowls put a healthy few tbs of mascarpone and let sit at room temperature. In a skillet melt some butter 2-3 tbs simmer and add some fresh herbs of choice I like sage or basil. Grate the rind of 1 lemon. Take about 1/2 cup of pine nuts and toast them in the broiler of your oven, set aside.
Boil the ravioli in salted water. The fresh ones take about 4 minutes. Drain them then toss in the skillet with butter and herbs, add a little salt and pepper. Ladle each bowl with ravioli on top of the mascarpone, place quartered figs on top, sprinkle with pine nuts, lemon zest and grated parmesan cheese. I also like to add drops of balsamic reduction glaze (optional) Enjoy!

I made these for my guests at my last dinner party and even those on a strict diet couldn’t resist and asked for seconds (and thirds...). Great recipe. Sooo irresistible.
