Spinach and Cheese Ravioli
- 1/4 cup ricotta
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan plus extra for garnish
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons fresh or frozen chopped spinach
- Pinch of salt
- 8 3-inch-square wonton wrappers
- 1/2 cup bottled spaghetti sauce
- Place the ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolk, spinach, and salt in a small bowl and mix until combined.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Lay the wrappers on a flat surface and place some of the cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper.
- Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of one of the wrappers.
- Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle and firmly press the edges to seal in the filling.
- Just before you seal the last edge, push gently on the center of the ravioli to remove any air pockets.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ravioli.
- Place the spaghetti sauce in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and heat on high for 1 minute, or until warm.
- Place the ravioli in the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they float to the top of the pot.
- Remove the ravioli from the water with a slotted spoon and drain well, keeping the ravioli separate so they dont stick together.
- Place one-half of the ravioli in a serving bowl and top one-half with the sauce.
- Place the remaining ravioli in the bowl, top with the remaining sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Because air expands as it heats up, too much air in the center of the ravioli can cause it to pop open during cooking.
- While it is not necessary to vacuum seal them, gently pushing out any visible air pockets will help keep your ravioli intact.
