Ricotta & Roasted Pepper Ravioli Pockets
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup finely diced roasted red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped basil
- 1 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (13.8 oz) can Refrigerated Pizza Crust
- 1 Tablespoon butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
- 1 cup Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce
- Parmesan cheese for garnish
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a baking sheet.
- Heat a small skillet over medium heat; coat with cooking spray. Add onion to the pan and saute until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- In a bowl combine onion, ricotta cheese, bell pepper, basil, 1 Tbsp Parmesan, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Set aside.
- Unroll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Starting at center, press out dough with hands to form 16x10-inch rectangle. Using a pizza wheel cut the dough into 20, 2 x 4 inch mini rectangles. (To do this, use a ruler and cut the 10 inch side of the rectangle every 2 inches and the 16 inch side every four inches.) Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the cheese filling onto half of each rectangle, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Fold the dough over in 1/2 to enclose the filling, creating a 2 x 2 ravioli pocket. Tightly seal the edges by crimping with the tines of a fork. Place on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake for 13 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile heat sauce until warmed throughout. To serve, arrange 10 warm ravioli pockets on each plate and top with a 1/2 cup of the heated sauce. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
