Quantity Ingredient
½ pounds Fresh mozzarella, grated
½ cup Ricotta
⅓ cup Finely chopped prosciutto
⅓ cup Finely chopped fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, oregano and/or thyme
½ teaspoon Freshly grated lemon zest
1 large Egg, lightly beaten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons Olive oil
2 tablespoons Finely minced garlic
½ teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
1 can Plum tomatoes, (28 ounce) drained and chopped

60 Won ton wrappers (available at Asian markets and many supermarkets), thawed if frozen
Freshly grated Parmesan, as an accompaniment

Directions

FOR THE FILLING

FOR THE SAUCE

In a bowl combine the grated mozzarella, ricotta, prosciutto, herbs, lemon zest, egg, salt and pepper. Chill the filling for 1 hour.

In a heavy skillet heat the oil over moderately low heat and cook the garlic and red pepper flakes,stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, bring to a boil and simmer sauce, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in the fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper. Keep the sauce warm while preparing the ravioli.

Prepare the won ton ravioli: Place 1 won ton wrapper on a lightly floured surface, mound 1 tablespoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper, and brush the edges with water. Put a second wrapper over the first, pressing down around the filling to force out the air, seal the edges well, and trim the excess dough around the filling with a decorative cutter or sharp knife. Make won ton ravioli with the remaining wrappers and filling in the same manner, transferring them as they are formed to a dry kitchen towel, and turn them occasionally to let them dry slightly.

Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil and in it cook the ravioli in batches for 2 minutes, or until they rise to the surface and are tender.

(Do no let the water boil vigorously once the ravioli have been added.) Transfer the ravioli as they are cooked with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and keep them warm.

Serve with warm tomato sauce. If desired, garnish with fresh leaves of basil and freshly grated Parmesan.
