Simple Ravioli? It Can Be Done!

I considered attempting to make ravioli from scratch on numerous occasions.  Then I read the recipe and realize that it requires a ravioli press and refuse to purchase a kitchen tool that I will only use once every year.  Then one day I subscribed to Pinterest and came across a great idea for super simple ravioli.

Enter...Won Ton Wrappers!

Mix 16 ounces of low fat ricotta cheese and one egg with your favorite veggie and/or cooked chicken/beef.  I used pureed broccoli and diced onions. 

Each won ton wrapper will hold about a tablespoon of the mixture.  Be careful to not over-stuff them or they will not hold together while cooking. 

Simply wet the edges of the wrapper and press them together to close them up.  I also used a fork to gently press the edges like pie crust.  Just don't poke or tear the wrapper as you work.  They will leak when you cook them if you do.

Boil the water while you are making the ravioli so it's ready when you have finished.  I found that about 5-6 ravioli will fit in the boiling water at once.  They only need about 4 minutes to be fully cooked. 

I topped my ravioli with a little mozzarella cheese and bacon!  Any sauce would be great, too...I just wanted something a little lighter. 

So won ton wrappers = excellent 'from scratch' ravioli dinner option.
