Chicken Ravioli with Fresh Tomato Sauce

I am definitely an advocate for DIY cooking.
 
I know there isn't always time for making things from scratch, but this one's not too difficult.
 
This is a fairly simple recipe, considering the amount of ingredients.
 
 
 
You will need:
 
 
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/3 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup red wine
2/3 cup chicken stock
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 Tbs chopped fresh basil
6.5 oz ground chicken
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
3 scallions, finely chopped
1 3/4 oz ricotta
1 packet won ton wrappers
 
 
To make the sauce, heat 1 Tbs of oil in a pain and cook the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the tomato paste, wine, chicken stock, and tomato and simmer for 20 minutes.
 
 
 
 
 
Stir in the basil.
 
To make the ravioli, combine the ground chicken, basil, Parmesan cheese, scallions, ricotta, and salt and pepper.
 
 
 
Lay the won ton wrappers on a flat surface and brush with a little water.
 
Place a slightly heaped tsp of the mixture onto the center of each wrapper.
 
Place another wrapper on top and press the edges together.
 
 
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
 
Add the ravioli, a few at a time, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender.
 
 
Drain well and serve with the tomato sauce.

 
I had a lot of the chicken mixture left over so I made a yummy chicken meatloaf and toped it with the remaining tomato sauce!! Yum-o!
