How do you make a low fat ravioli? It's quite
easy. Just follow the directions of this recipe using some tasty butternut
squash!
1 small butternut squash
1 can fat free chicken broth
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup part skim milk ricotta cheese
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
50-count package of wonton wrappers
3 Tbs. cornstarch, mixed with equal parts cold water
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 Tbs. Italian parsley
1/4 cup tomato, diced
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut butternut squash
in half, remove seeds. Place cut sides down in a baking sheet sprayed
with nonstick spray, add 1/2 inch of water and bake uncovered for 30
to 40 minutes or until tender. Cool.
Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth in skillet and sauté
onion and garlic. Transfer to a large bowl. Scoop out squash and place
in the bowl with ricotta cheese, basil, salt and pepper. Mash to a coarse
paste. For each ravioli, place a wonton wrapper on a lightly floured
surface. Spoon filling, about the diameter of a 50-cent piece and about
1/4-inch thick, onto the center of the wrapper.
Lightly wet the edges of the wonton with the
cornstarch mixture. Lay a second wrapper over the filling and press
the edges onto the bottom piece. Trim edges with ravioli cutter. Carefully
place filled ravioli in a large pot of boiling water, one at a time
and stirring very gently. Cook for about four to five minutes. Remove
cooked ravioli with slotted spoon and place on plate. Drizzle with warmed
chicken broth and top with parmesan cheese, chopped tomato and parsley.
