Ingredients

1 cup ricotta

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano 

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 

1 lemon, zested 

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the pasta water 

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

1 large egg 

48 wonton wrappers 

One 24-ounce jar store-bought marinara sauce, warmed 

1/4 cup store-bought pesto 

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish 

Directions

  1. Place the ricotta, Parmesan, oregano, parsley, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  2. Whisk together the egg with a tablespoon of water in a separate small bowl and set aside.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  4. Lay out a few wonton wrappers at a time. Place 1/2 teaspoon of the filling into the center of each one. Then, working one piece at a time, dab your finger in the egg wash mixture and run it along the edge of a wrapper, then lay a second wrapper on top, lining up the edges as much as possible and gently pressing out any air bubbles. Set aside while you work on the rest.
  5. Drop a few ravioli at a time into the boiling water (you will cook them in batches to allow for plenty of room). Stir gently with a spoon so they do not stick together. Let cook until they float to the top, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a platter. Cook the remaining ravioli in the same manner.
  6. Spoon a little marinara sauce on each plate and lay 4 to 6 ravioli on top. Spoon more marinara sauce over the ravioli, then spoon over some small dots of pesto. Garnish with the fresh basil leaves and serve.

WOW ... so simple but such a winner. Each ingredient adds. I was thinking the pesto wasn't necessary, but it makes the dish special. A huge winner in my house!
