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'm not sure what I did wrong, but my ravioli turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

The ravioli were a bit too thick for my preference. I'll try rolling the dough thinner next time.

These ravioli were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more herbs and spices next time.

Not bad for my first try! The ravioli turned out well, although I did have a bit of trouble getting the edges to seal properly. The flavor was great and the sauce was really tasty. With a little more practice, I think I'll be able to make these even

Delicious! I made these ravioli for a dinner party and they were a hit. Everyone loved them. The ricotta cheese filling was especially creamy and smooth. Will definitely make again.

My Italian grandma would be proud! This ravioli recipe brought back so many childhood memories. The flavors were spot-on and the texture was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again and again.
