Turkey and Ricotta Ravioli


My camera has been MIA for the last few days so I am only now able to upload photo's from the last few meals that we have had that are worth blogging.  So, last Friday night my sister came to stay and we had some turkey breast out so to make it 'go the distance' we decided to make ravioli.  The meal was an absolute hit with everyone and it will definitely be on the menu again soon. 

Ingredients
300 gram turkey breast, finely chopped, cooked
250 gram carton of lite ricotta cheese
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
Fresh basil, finely chopped
Freshly ground pepper
Salt
Wonton wrappers
2 jars of Barilla Basilico pasta sauce, warmed through.

Directions
In a mixing bowl mix together the turkey, ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, basil, salt and pepper.  Mix well.  Take one wonton wrapper at a time and place on a board.  Place a large teaspoonful of the mixture in the middle of the wonton wrapper.  Take a pastry brush and dip in water.  Brush around the edge of the wonton wrapper with the water and fold in half diagonally.  Cut around the edge of the ravioli with a pasty cutter.  Continue this process until all of the turkey mixture is used up.


Bring a large pot of water to the boil and season well.  Place the ravioli's in the water to cook.  When all of the ravioli have risen to the surface they are ready.  Remove from the pasta water and serve between bowls.  Cover with the pasta sauce and some freshly grated Parmesan.
Bon Appetit.
