Nonna Marfisa's Ravioli image

My grandmother-in-law's recipe. It is requested by nearly everyone who tastes it. Recently the club we belong to added it to their permanent menu. Nonna made her own pasta dough - but I use won ton wrappers. It is the filling that makes these!

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb lean ground beef
salt
pepper
garlic powder
1/4-1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 (8 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed
4 tablespoons olive oil (more if needed)
1 egg
1 -2 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
1 (100 count) package wonton wrappers

Steps:

  • Heat 1 Tbs. oil in large skillet, add meat and brown well.
  • Drain fat from meat and add salt, pepper, garlic powder and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • Drain thawed spinach, squeezing to eliminate excess water.
  • Saute spinach with 3 Tbs. oil sprinkled with garlic powder.
  • Add spinach to meat and stir well. Continue sauteing for 5-10 minutes.
  • Cool, then add egg and Paresan cheese mixing well.
  • Place 2 teaspoons filling into center of won ton wrapper. If using less filling - fold wrapper over and seal edges using a bit of water. If using more filling- place a second wrapper over filling and seal using a bit of water.
  • Note: Nonna made the filling and then placed several slices of bread into a bowl. Then put the filling on top of the bread. She let that sit in the refrigerator to absorb any excess fat drippings. Then she would place filling into pasta.
  • Place pasta in boiling water until float to top. Ravioli may be frozen.
