Instructions
-
Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, dried basil leaves, fresh basil, dried oregano, egg, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix everything together until the filling is smooth and well-blended.
-
Assemble the Ravioli:
- Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the prepared filling in the center of each wrapper.
- Using your finger, lightly moisten the outer edges of a second wonton wrapper with water. Place this wrapper on top of the one with filling, creating a pocket.
- Firmly press the edges together to seal the ravioli, ensuring there are no air pockets inside. Repeat this process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
-
Cook the Ravioli:
- Bring a large pot of water to a gentle simmer. Be sure not to overcrowd the pot to ensure the ravioli cook evenly.
- Carefully drop 4-5 raviolis into the simmering water at a time. Allow them to cook for about 3 minutes, or until the pasta around the filling becomes wrinkled and the ravioli turn from opaque to translucent.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked ravioli and place them on a plate. Repeat this process until all the ravioli are cooked.
-
Serve:
- Once the ravioli are all cooked, serve them with your favorite sauce, whether itβs a classic marinara, a creamy Alfredo, or a simple drizzle of olive oil and parmesan.
Tips for Success
- Do Not Overcrowd: When simmering the ravioli, avoid overcrowding the pot. This ensures that each ravioli cooks evenly and prevents them from sticking together.
- Use Fresh Wonton Wrappers: Fresh wonton wrappers will yield the best texture. Make sure they are fully sealed to avoid the filling leaking out during cooking.
- Creative Sauces: While this dish is delicious on its own, you can get creative with the sauces. A light tomato basil sauce or a brown butter sage sauce will pair wonderfully with these delicate raviolis.
