Folding Ravioli









Tonight we folded(and ate) ravioli! It was so fun and quite tasty. We used this recipe

We didn't use parsley sauce, but pesto and I'm not a nutmeg in pasta fan, so I left that out.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces fresh goat cheese
  • 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed through a garlic press
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 12 square wonton wrappers (3 1/2 inch)
  • Parsley Sauce

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, use a fork to mash together goat cheese, ricotta, garlic, and nutmeg until smooth; season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
  2. Assemble ravioli: Arrange 6 wrappers on a work surface, keeping remaining wrappers covered with a damp papper towel.



    Spoon 1 level tablespoon filling in the center of each wrapper. With a fingertip, wet edges of wrappers with water. Fold a corner of each wrapper over filling to form a triangle, and press edges to seal. Flatten area around filling to eliminate air pockets. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper. (If making ahead, cover ravioli with plastic wrap; refrigerate up to 1 day. Or freeze on sheet for 1 hour, then transfer ravioli to a large resealable freezer bag; freeze up to 1 month.)
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; reduce to a bare simmer. Drop ravioli into water, one at a time, stirring them gently to prevent sticking. Cook until al dente, 5 to 7 minutes. (Cooking time is the same for frozen ravioli.)
  4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer ravioli to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet, and arrange in a single layer to drain briefly. Divide between two plates; drizzle with parsley sauce, and serve immediately.

Yummy. What a cute website. Did you make the pasta or buy it pre-made? I loved your kid crafts. I am adding you to my blog, if you would rather I didn't let me know-K. See ya, Kerry
