( SERVES 4 )

Buy wonton wrappers at your Asian supermarket. You can buy thin and thick; I used thick. When turning them into ravioli experiment with different shapes and sizes, and adjust the amount of filling accordingly — there are no rules.
Ingredients
1 bunch | Kale leaves, or rocket |
250 g | Ricotta cheese, firm |
2 | Lemons, zested and juiced |
1 pinch | Nutmeg |
1 packet | Wonton wrappers |
Directions
- Lightly steam the fresh greens. Cool, squeeze out excess moisture, and finely chop.
- In a bowl mix ricotta cheese (I use Clevedon Valley buffalo ricotta) with the zest and juice of the lemons. Mix in the greens and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Chill.
- Place a spoonful of mix into the centre of a wonton wrapper, place another wrapper on top, squeeze out air around the filling and press the edges together firmly to seal. Repeat to make enough to serve.
- To cook. place ravioli into a pot of simmering salted water, and gently cook until they rise to the surface and are al dente (3-5 minutes). Remove with a slotted spook and drain on a clean tea towel. Serve drizzled with olive oil and dusted with sumac.

added 1400 days agoI made this filling with fresh pasta and omitted the nutmeg and added breadcrumbs. Was very tasty served with a lemon cream garlic sauce.
