Get your greens in this ravioli recipe that brings together spinach and three types of cheese. If pressed for time, you can substitute commercial marinara for our Tomato Sauce. Ingredients:
3 cups tomato sauce |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded asiago cheese |
1/2 cup 1% low-fat cottage cheese |
1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained, and squeezed dry |
36 won ton wrappers |
1 egg white, lightly beaten |
Directions:
1. Prepare Tomato Sauce; set aside, and keep warm.
2. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, and sauté 1 minute. Place garlic, mozzarella cheese, and next 7 ingredients (mozzarella cheese through spinach) in a food processor; pulse until well-blended.
3. Working with 1 won ton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to keep them from drying out), spoon about 1 tablespoon spinach mixture into center of each wrapper. Moisten edges of wrapper with egg white, and bring 2 opposite corners together. Press edges together with a fork to seal, forming a triangle. Repeat procedure with remaining won ton wrappers, spinach mixture, and egg white.
4. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Add 12 ravioli (cover remaining ravioli with a damp towel to keep them from drying out); cook 2 minutes, stirring once. Remove ravioli from water with a slotted spoon; set aside, and keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining ravioli. Place ravioli in shallow bowls, and top with Tomato Sauce.
