Ingredients
  • ½ pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, plus more for the cooking water
  • 50 wonton wrappers
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
Directions
  1. Place the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Crumble it up and cook it for about 5 to 6 minutes until it is no longer pink.
  3. Turn off the heat and chop the meat up finely, then set it aside to cool.
  4. Place the sausage in a large bowl along with the ricotta, mozzarella, lemon zest, and salt. Stir to combine.
  5. Beat the egg in a small bowl.
  6. Lay several wonton wrappers on a clean work surface.
  7. Brush the wonton wrappers with the beaten egg.
  8. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the ricotta mixture onto the middle of each wrapper.
  9. Place another wrapper on top and press the edges firmly with your fingertips to seal.
  10. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling to create 25 ravioli.
  11. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  12. Gently lower 7 to 8 ravioli into the boiling water.
  13. Cook them for 1 to 2 minutes, or until tender.
  14. Drain the ravioli and transfer them to a baking sheet in a single layer to prevent them from sticking together.
  15. Repeat with the remaining ravioli.
  16. Toss them with marinara sauce, then plate them garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan.
  17. Serve immediately.
