ricotta cheese, lemon zest, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

On a dry work surface place 8 wonton wrappers. Place a rounded teaspoon of the chicken
mixture in the center of each wrapper. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg wash around the
chicken mixture. Bring four corners of the wonton square together over the filling to form
a purse. Press the edges together tightly to form a seal. Wipe the board with a towel
until dry and continue making batches of 8 with the remaining wonton skins

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add
the purses and cook until they float to the surface, stirring occasionally, about 4 to 5
minutes. Drain the ravioli.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet. Turn off the heat, add the cooked
pyramids and gently toss. Transfer the pyramids to 4 serving plates. Sprinkle with grated
Parmesan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
