The Invoke-DscRessource allows this.
Ensure-DSC should be improved, if possible. It's been a long time since Otter was updated 
Invoke-DscResource -Method Test -Name WindowsFeature -Property @{Name='RSAT-AD-PowerShell'; IncludeAllSubFeature=$true; ensure='Present'} -ModuleName @{ModuleName=’PSDscResources’; ModuleVersion=2.2.0.0’} -Verbose
As enhancement, it would be nice to have a function Ensure-Module in order to manage properly PS Module.
I have done a small set of functions based on PackageManagement but it does not work properly for the Module installation as it does remove the old version.

Ensure-DscResource
(

}
note:
There are some prerequisites to have PackageManagement 1.4.7.
