Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your wontons will taste. If possible, use organic or locally sourced ingredients.
- Don't overmix the wonton filling: Overmixing will make the filling tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a wonton wrapper that is not too thick: Thick wonton wrappers will make your wontons gummy. Look for a wonton wrapper that is thin and pliable.
- Seal the wontons tightly: Make sure that the wontons are sealed tightly so that they don't come apart while cooking.
- Cook the wontons in a large pot of boiling water: This will help to prevent the wontons from sticking together.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: Cooking too many wontons at once will cause the water temperature to drop, which will make the wontons cook unevenly.
- Serve the wontons immediately: Wontons are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to store them, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate them for up to 3 days.

Italian wontons are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or for a special occasion.
