Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

Filling
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, unthawed
1/2 cup chopped fresh fennel
1/2 cup canned vegetable broth or water
2 tablespoons minced fresh fennel fronds
1 egg yolk
32 to 36 gyoza (round) wrappers or wonton wrappers
1 egg white
Sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup chopped fresh fennel
1 1/4 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 28-ounce can Italian tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Fresh fennel fronds

Steps:

  • For filling:
  • Heat olive oil in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and fennel seeds and sauté 3 minutes. Add artichoke hearts and chopped fennel and stir 1 minute. Add vegetable broth and bring mixture to boil. Cover skillet and cook until vegetables are very tender, about 12 minutes. Uncover and simmer until pan juices have evaporated completely, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Scrape filling into processor and cool. Add fennel fronds and process to coarse puree. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add yolk and blend.
  • Line baking sheet with plastic wrap. If using wonton wrappers, trim edges to form rounds. Brush entire surface of 1 wrapper lightly with egg white. Place 1 rounded teaspoon filling in center. Fold dough over, forming semi-circle. Seal edges, pressing out any air around filling. Place on prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers. (Ravioli can be prepared ahead. Cover loosely with towel and plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 8 hours, or cover with plastic and freeze 3 days. Do not thaw frozen ravioli before cooking.)
  • For sauce:
  • Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic, fennel and fennel seeds and sauté until tender, about 12 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juices and next 4 ingredients. Simmer until sauce thickens, breaking up tomatoes with back of spoon, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill. Rewarm before using.)
  • Boil ravioli in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well. Spoon some sauce on each plate. Arrange ravioli atop sauce. Garnish with fresh fennel fronds.

These ravioli were a great way to use up leftover artichokes and fennel. I will definitely be making them again.

I made a double batch of these ravioli and froze half of them for later. They reheated well in the microwave.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the Parmesan cheese from the filling. The ravioli were still very flavorful.

I didn't have any fennel on hand, so I used a combination of celery and onion instead. The ravioli still turned out delicious.

I had a hard time finding artichoke hearts, so I used canned artichoke hearts instead. The ravioli still turned out great.

The sauce was a bit too acidic for my taste. I would have preferred a more mellow sauce.

These ravioli were a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked the filling to be more flavorful.

I'm not a fan of ravioli, but I really enjoyed these. The filling was light and fluffy, and the sauce was flavorful without being too heavy.

These ravioli were a bit more work to make than I expected, but they were worth it. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and complex.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ravioli turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the sauce.
