Walnut and Apple Ravioli Ingredients

  • Pecorino Romano –freshly shredded
  • Mascarpone cheese – this is an Italian cheese you can find in your grocer’s deli.
  • Apple– shredded, Braeburn is great but use whatever you have on hand!
  • Lemon Juice – fresh squeezed is always great but you can take a shortcut with a bottle.
  • Walnuts– chopped
  • Butter– salted butter is best, melted

Optional Toppings

  1. Mix pecorino, mascarpone and braeburn {use cheese shredder to shred}. Add a touch of lemon juice to preserve the filling (keeping it from browning) while preparing pasta. Set aside.
  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  3. Fill pasta or wonton wrappers and boil 3-4 minutes. For more specific directions, follow this wonton ravioli guide.
  4. Reserving a little pasta water, toss with butter and top with fresh parsley, parmesan and pepper.

Tips

  • I enjoy the process of making homemade ravioli, but if you don’t, try it inside out! Just toss these stuffing ingredients with hot pasta.
  • You can also make ravioli using wonton wrappers!
  • Learnhow to make homemade pasta here. You won’t believe how simple it really is – homemade pasta could change your life!
  • Save a little of your pasta water to thin out your sauce if necessary. The starchy water is already warm and helps thin the sauce beautifully.
  • Cook your ravioli al dente! The perfect bite won’t happen if your pasta is overcooked.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute wonton wrappers for ravioli?

Yes you can! Using wonton wrappers for ravioli is a great shortcut technique.

Are wonton wrappers the same as pasta?

The ingredients are very similar – (flour, egg and water). That makes these an excellent substitute!
