Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups water
4 cloves garlic, whole
1 teaspoon whiskey
1 teaspoon gray salt
1 skinless boneless whole chicken breast (about 3/4 pound)
2 pounds spinach, washed 3 times
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped basil leaves
3 eggs
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon gray salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 to 5 packages wonton skins

Steps:

  • Poach chicken: In a 1 1/2-quart saucepan bring water to a boil with garlic, whiskey, and salt. Add chicken and simmer, covered, 12 minutes, or until just cooked through. Transfer chicken to a bowl and chill, covered, 20 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook spinach for 30 seconds. Drop the spinach into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking, then drain well. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the spinach, onion, parsley, and basil. Cut the chicken into pieces and add them. Pulse until the ingredients are finely ground. Put this mixture into a bowl and add the eggs, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • To form the ravioli, drop 1 tablespoon chicken mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Dip a pastry brush or your finger in water and lightly wet the edges of the wrapper. Top with another wrapper and press the ravioli closed. Repeat until all the filling is used. Cover with a damp towel until you are ready to cook.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop in the ravioli in batches to avoid crowding the pot. Cook until the ravioli rise to the surface, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The dough was too sticky and the filling was too runny. I ended up throwing the whole thing out.

This recipe was a bit of a disappointment. The ravioli were tough and the filling was bland. I wouldn't recommend it.

This recipe is a little time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The ravioli are so delicious and they freeze well, so I can make a big batch and have them on hand for when I need them.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ravioli turned out great. The only thing I would do differently next time is to add a little more salt to the filling.

The ravioli turned out great! The filling was creamy and cheesy, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. I served it with a simple tomato sauce and it was a delicious meal.

I substituted ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese and it was a great choice. The ricotta made the filling extra creamy and rich. I also added a bit of garlic and parsley to the filling for extra flavor.

Mamma's ravioli was a hit! The filling was cheesy and flavorful, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. I especially loved the slightly crispy edges of the ravioli. I can't wait to make this recipe again soon!
