Yield Serves 2 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 9

For filling
3 slices bacon
3 cups chopped Swiss chard, stems discarded, leaves washed and chopped (about 1/2 pound)
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
24 won ton wrappers*, thawed if frozen
1 cup prepared tomato sauce, heated
*available at Asian markets and most supermarkets

Steps:

  • Make filling:
  • In a large heavy skillet cook bacon over moderate heat until crisp and with a slotted spatula transfer to a cutting board. Chop bacon fine. Remove all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet and heat remaining fat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Cook chard and garlic, stirring, until chard is tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer chard mixture to a bowl and cool. To chard mixture add cheeses, 2 tablespoons bacon, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a gentle boil.
  • Put a won ton wrapper on a lightly floured surface and mound 1 tablespoon filling in center of wrapper. Brush edges of wrapper with water and put a second wrapper over first, pressing down around filling to force out air. Seal edges well and transfer ravioli to a kitchen towel. Make more ravioli with remaining wrappers and filling in same manner, turning them occasionally to dry slightly. Cook ravioli in water at a gentle boil 6 to 8 minutes, or until they rise to surface and are tender. (Do not let water boil vigorously once ravioli have been added.) With a slotted spoon transfer ravioli as cooked to a kitchen towel to drain.
  • Divide ravioli between 2 plates and spoon sauce over them. Garnish ravioli with remaining tablespoon bacon.

I would not recommend this recipe. The ravioli were very difficult to make, and the filling was not very flavorful. The tomato sauce was also very bland. I would not make this dish again.

This dish was okay. The ravioli were a bit too soft for my taste, and the tomato sauce was a bit too sweet. I think I would have preferred a more traditional tomato sauce. Overall, this dish was not my favorite, but it was still edible.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my ravioli didn't turn out as good as I expected. They were a bit too doughy, and the filling was a bit bland. I think I might have overcooked the ravioli, or maybe I didn't use enough salt. I will definitely try th
