Ravioli

I love making ravioli.  It's so easy.  No, really, it is.  First of all, I use wonton wrappers for the "pasta" part.  They totally work and make it a cinch to make homemade goodness.  I have quite a few I like to make but my favorite fillings are sweet potato, butternut squash, or goat cheese with herbs.  I made the goat cheese with herbs one tonight.  It really is a stunning dish.  First of all, I mixed the goat cheese with six chopped herbs from the garden (mint, basil, parsley, tarragon, thyme, and chives.)  Then I added some grated Parmesan cheese and a little cream to loosen up the goat cheese a little.  

Next I put about a teaspoon's worth on the wonton wrapper, wet two edges, and press it together.  







 The raviolis cook in three to four minutes.  









Next they get tossed with some browned butter and laid on a bed of sautéed roasted red peppers, onion, and tomatoes.  I topped them with toasted pine nuts and some chopped parsley for color.  YUM!!
