Check the zucchini and cut them in half, remove the flesh and cut central strips. In a frying pan with the olive oil saute the onion sliced thinly, add the ham cut into strips and saute for a minute and then add the zucchini and chopped marjoram, salt and cook covered for about 10 minutes, if necessary together with a little water. Cook the ravioli in salted water; meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a frying pan, drain preserving a little of the cooking water and pour into the pan with zucchini. Add the mascarpone cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, a little cooking water and pine nuts. Mix well and, if you like, add a sprinkling of freshly ground pepper.
