Ingredients
Method
Make the Filling
- Place the cooked chicken into the bowl of a food processor and pulse to mince.
- Add the ricotta cheese, fresh basil leaves, and grated Parmesan cheese into the bowl.
- Pulse until the ingredients are completely combined.
- Season the filling with the kosher salt and coarse black pepper.
Assemble the Ravioli
- Spread four wonton wrappers flat onto your clean work surface.
- Place a spoonful of the chicken filling directly into the center of each square.
- Place a small, fresh basil leaf on top of the filling mound.
- Use your finger or a pastry brush to wet the entire border of the wonton square with water.
- Place a second wonton wrapper on top of the filling.
- Gently press down with your fingers, working from the center out, to push out the air and seal the ravioli.
- Use the tines of a fork to firmly crimp and seal the outer edges.
- Repeat this process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Prepare the Sauces
- For the brown butter sauce, warm the butter in a skillet over low heat until it begins to froth and turn golden, about 5 minutes.
- Toss the sage leaves into the brown butter and continue cooking for two minutes more.
- For the red sauce, heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Stir in the half and half until the sauce is creamy and warm.
Boil and Serve
- Fill a deep pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil.
- Season the boiling water with a generous amount of salt.
- Carefully lower the ravioli into the pot, one at a time, working in small batches so you do not overcrowd the pot or tear the delicate wrappers.
- Boil until they float to the top and become tender, just a few minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon or spider skimmer to gently lift the ravioli from the water and transfer them directly into either the brown butter or the red sauce.
- Garnish the finished dish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts.
