I have no picture of these as I brought them to a friend's house for dinner and they got gobbled up so quick, that I didn't have time to take a picture. And I thought a photo of an empty plate was just mean, so use your imagination on these.
It starts with those packaged wonton wrappers you buy in the Produce section of your grocery store. These are the "ravioli." You can then put absolutely anything in them. So fun and quick and easy to make. I put peas and ricotta and mint together to serve as a side with roast chicken and celery root puree. A very nice twist to the traditional vegetable side.
All I did was put 1/2 cup of thawed (frozen) peas in a food processor, along with 1/4 cup ricotta, 1 tsp freshly chopped mint, salt and pepper. On a flat, clean work surface, spoon a teaspoon of the pea/ricotta mixture on a wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wonton with water and fold over into a triangle. Secure the edges with your fingers, ensuring they stick. Once you've made as much as you desire, you can freeze* them, or cook them in a pot of boiling water until they float to the top (3-5 min). Easy peasy. Serve with roast chicken or roast pork with gravy, or just on their own.
*To freeze, lay each ravioli on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper, ensuring none are touching. Place in the freezer until frozen, then you can transfer them to a plastic bag and none of them will stick together!
