Ingredients

  • Options:
  • 1/2 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry
  • 2 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, chopped (or bacon)
  • 1/2 cup onion or shallot, chopped
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Freshly grated pecorino
  • Sundried tomatoes
  • Nutmeg

Preparation

Step 1

Whisk the ricotta, spinach, prosciutto, egg yolks, parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend.

Place 1 tablespoon of the ricotta filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Brush the edge of the wrapper lightly with water. Fold the wrapper in half, enclosing the filling completely and forming a triangle. Pinch the edges to seal. Transfer the ravioli to baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers. (Can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead; cover and refrigerate.)

Melt the butter in a heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add the oregano and stir 1 minute. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.

Working in batches, cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer the ravioli to a large shallow bowl.

Pour the oregano butter over the ravioli and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the pecorino over the ravioli and serve.
