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.

CHEESE RAVIOLI WITH VEGETARIAN " MEAT" SAUCE
I often use vegetarian crumbles as a replacement for recipes that call for ground beef. This is my attempt to mimic the meat sauce my mother's mother would make for her lasagna and ziti. This tomato sauce is really easy to put together, and can be used with ANY pasta. (I just happen to have a weakness for cheese ravioli!)

Tips:
- To make the ravioli dough, use a food processor fitted with a dough blade. This will help you to get a smooth and consistent dough.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can also make the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
- When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking.
- To cut the ravioli, you can use a ravioli cutter or a sharp knife. If you are using a knife, be sure to cut the ravioli into even squares.
- When cooking the ravioli, be sure to add them to boiling water. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
- To make the meat sauce, use a variety of ground meats. This will give the sauce a more complex flavor.
- Be sure to brown the meat well before adding the other ingredients to the sauce. This will help to develop the flavor of the sauce.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened.
- Serve the ravioli with the meat sauce and a sprinkling of grated Parmesan cheese.
