Note

Ensure the ravioli are patted dry before frying to help them crisp up better.

Use the pale green and white parts of the leek; the dark green tops are too tough for this dish.

For a vegetarian variation, omit the bacon and use vegetable stock to saut&# 195;© the leeks.

Serve with a side of fresh greens or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for added acidity.
