Ingredients
- 16 large square wonton wrappers
- 2 cups portobello mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 12 jumbo prawns, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chiffonade cut
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish
- Fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped portobello mushrooms, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the mushroom filling onto the center of the wrapper. Wet the edges of the wonton wrapper with water and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together firmly to seal the ravioli. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove the cooked ravioli using a slotted spoon and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until they become translucent.
- Add the prawns to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside.
- Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Add the chicken broth and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat them with the sauce.
- To serve, divide the ravioli among plates. Top each serving with a few prawns and garnish with fresh basil chiffonade, grated Parmesan cheese, and parsley leaves.
