Spinach Ravioli

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup tomatoes (peeled, seeded,diced)
  • 1 small onion (oven roasted)
  • 1 cup mushrooms (minced)
  • 2 tsp garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 pound spinach leaves (blanched, chopped)
  • 1/4 cup nonfat cottage cheese
  • 3/4 cup tofu (mashed)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil (minced)
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • 48 eggless pot sticker skins
Procedure:

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the tomatoes, onion, mushrooms and garlic. Cook over medium heat until the liquid from the mushrooms completely evaporates and the mixture is somewhat dry. Be careful not to burn it. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the tomato mixture, spinach, cottage cheese, tofu, and basil. Season to taste with pepper and salt.
  3. On a cutting board, lay out a single layer of pot-sticker skins. Using a pastry brush, moisten the edges with water. Place 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture onto the center of each skin. Cover with a second pot sticker skin and press the edges together with the tines of a fork to seal.
  4. Cook the ravioli in boiling water or vegetable stock for 3 minutes, or until the pot sticker skin is al dente. Serve hot.
