Homemade pasta is delightful comfort food. It is also often laborious and time consuming. This semi-homemade Mushroom Goat Cheese Ravioli has a trick up it's sleeve for delicious homemade filled pasta taste in under 45 minutes.
Read on for the mind blowing secret ingredient.
Ravioli may sound intimidating to make, but with one simple trick they become ridiculously easy.
Instead of making pasta from scratch and cutting and folding them into little pockets, use wonton wrappers.
I got the idea from How to Cook Without a Book by Pam Anderson. It is a fun little book I picked up on the discount aisle of the grocery store that inspired me to simplify some of my day to day cooking processes.
From start to finish these took me about 30-40 minutes to make! Making this a lovely idea for a meatless Monday meal.
Fried (or Air Fried) Mushroom Goat Cheese Ravioli
Traditionally ravioli is boiled and served with some kind of sauce. Another is variation is to fry or bake them instead of boiling. They make a lovely appetizer served with the sauce on the side for dipping.
I do not deep fry very often, so I have not actually done this. But, the directions are pretty basic. After the ravioli are prepared, heat about 2 inches of oil in a skillet or pot (or deep fryer) to 325β. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 packet wonton wrappers
- sauce for serving
Filling
- 1 ΒΌ cup goat cheese with italian seasoning
- ΒΌ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Β½ cup chopped mushrooms (canned or fresh mushrooms that have been sauteed)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine all filling ingredients.
- Spread out wonton wrappers. Put one teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper.
- Wet the edges around the filling.
- Place a second wrapper on top and press to seal and remove any air pockets.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Slide ravioli into water gently (approximately 8 at a time). Let boil until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon, boil the remainder of the ravioli. Serve with sauce of your choice.
- For baked appetizers: use one wrapper per piece, placing the filling towards one side and folding in half. Spray with cooking spray or brush with oil and bake at 350β until brown, about 3-4 minues per side.

I was really pleased with how fast they were to make. I will be making them like this again soon (sans mushrooms for my guys)

I love the idea of baked ravioli to serve as an appetizer. Genius.
Audrey@That Recipe
The baked wonton was actually my original idea, then I remembered the ravioli trick from the cookbook and did both.
Lauren @ Sew You Think You Can Cook
Why didn't I think of that!? I love using wonton wrappers for my ravioli, too.
Audrey@That Recipe
I am hooked on the idea now.

I've never been a huge fan of mushrooms, but I think I could make an exception for these Ravioli. They look delicious! Thank you for sharing at Merry Monday!
Audrey
Thanks, Amanda. You could easily swap the mushrooms for some ground meat or maybe spinach if that is more to your liking.
Kati
I love mushrooms and goat cheese! These look so amazing. I have never thought of using wonton wrappers for ravioli, but I like it π Do the baked version turn out crispy? That would be amazing! Thanks for sharing at the Wednesday Showcase.
Audrey
Yes, the baked ones are crispy as if they were fried. Just spray them good (or brush with oil) and toast until your desired level of crispiness.
