Chicken and prawn stacked ravioli



I think this is one of the prettiest dishes I have cooked. First heat olive oil in a large pan, add 1 finely chopped onion and 1 finely chopped garlic clove and cook for 5 minutes. Add 450g of cooked chicken pieces and fry for 4 min. Stir in 1 chopped tomato, deseeded, 150ml of white wine, 150ml of cream and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes until reduced and thickened. Stir in 250 g of cooked prawns, 2 tbsp of chopped fresh tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Heat the sauce through gently. Cook 8 lasagne sheets. Cut into half. For each plate, place 2 sheets and divide half the chicken mixture among them. Top each serving with a second sheet and divide the remainder among them. Top with a final layer of lasagne and serve immediately.

M's verdict: 9/10
N's verdict: 8/10

Nice and simple dish despite the 'ravioli' word. I like the mixtures of flavours, particularly, the tarragon and the tomatoes. Perfect as a starter for a three course meal.
