Chicken and Portabello Mushroom Ravioli with a Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 30 min
Serves: 4

Wonton wrappers are a great shortcut to make fresh ravioli at home. Earthy portobello mushrooms and salty prosciutto balance the chicken in the ravioli filling. The ravioli float in a simple homemade tomato sauce that is bursting with flavour thanks to the mellow undertone of roasted garlic.

Instructions

Chicken and Portabello Mushroom Ravioli with a Roasted Garlic Tomato Sauce

1 Mix all ingredients, except the wonton wrappers, together in bowl.
2 Put water in another small bowl. Put one wonton wrapper in your hand and take approximately 1 tsp (5 mL) of filling and put it in the centre of the wrapper.
3 Wet fingers with the water in the bowl and rub the water on the edges of the wrapper.
4 Fold over the wrapper to enclose the filling and squeeze the edges together until completely sealed. Wrap remaining filling in wontons.
5 In a pot, boil salted water to cook the wonton ravioli. Add wontons, depending on the size of the pot, a few at a time. Boil pasta until the filling is completely cooked (2 – 7 mins).
6 Remove from water and plate.

5 Add salt and pepper and cinnamon.
6 Heat and serve with wonton ravioli.
