Roast pumpkin wonton ravioli with chorizo & thyme
I found the idea for cheat's ravioli in Valli Little's recipe book 'faking it - how to cook delicious food without really trying'. Wonton Ravioli is a happy meduim - a great alternative to making pasta from scratch if you are time poor, and beats store bought ravioli hands down. I will definitely be making this again! my biggest critics (one of whom is an avid fresh pasta maker) also agree.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 200g ricotta
- 1/4 jap pumpkin cut into 1 inch cubes
- 2 birds eye chillies, chopped finely (seeds removed if you prefer mild!)
- 2 handfuls grated parmesan
- 1 handful washed and chopped fresh basil
- 50 wonton wrappers
- 2 chorizo sausages thickly sliced
- 1 handful fresh thyme
- olive oil

- Preheat oven to 180ºc. coat pumpkin in olive oil and mix in chilli and a pinch of salt and pepper. place on a tray in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until soft with golden brown edges.
- Allow to cool slightly. remove any excess moisture from the ricotta before mixing with the pumpkin, basil and parmesan.
- Lay a wonton wrapper down on a clean dry surface, and place a spoonful of pumpkin ricotta mix in the centre. Wet each edge of the wonton wrapper with water and place a second wrapper on-top. gently press down on all sides, pushing any air out. repeat for the remaining wrappers.
- Put a large pot of water on to boil, and heat a fry pan on medium with a dash of olive oil. fry the chorizo slices in the frypan until golden and crisp - there should also be lots of pan juices.
- Lower the ravioli into the boiling water, ensuring not to overcrowd - you will have to do this in batches. allow to cook for 3 - 4 minutes (they will rise to the surface when ready). remove ravioli with a slotted spoon, serve on plates with the chorizo, pan juices and sprigs of thyme.

Used different ingredients. I made the ravioli using wonton wrappers with Sweet potato, Feta and Spinach - it was delicious! I prepared the sweet potato the same way with the chilli and still included parmesan. I served it with a simple tomato sauce. - 07 Apr 2010
Can you fry the pumpkin with the chilli instead to save time? - 10 Jul 2009
