Basil Riccota Ravioli With Spinach
Wonton wrappers are the convenience item you never knew you absolutely needed. Beyond traditional wontons (usually a filling of ground chicken, scallions, and sesame oil), try any sweet or savory filling and bake, sear, or simmer. The wrappers are delicate, so handle gently and be careful not to overfill.
You also won’t want to bury these tender dumplings in sauce—a sprinkle of Parmesan and olive oil is all you need. We find it quickest to assemble 8 ravioli at a time. Skip the fancy folds here, just be sure to press out any air pockets and seal well.
