The filling looks kind of halloweenish being a green blob but it's made
up of sausage, spinach, ricotta and various seasonings. I used the food
processor to make it easier to keep air bubbles out but we'll see when I
cook them. I made them all for the freezer to use up the wonton
wrappers. I wasn't even hungry when I assembled them, so I didn't even
cook up a few. They might be good with just a little drizzle of EVOO,
fresh grated parm cheese and fresh ground black pepper.

I like the sound of that filling. Did you make the pasta or are those
won ton wrappers?

Geez, Cheryl. That looks like cat puke. heheh
I'm just teasing though. Based on your ingredients, it sounds good.
I'm sure it will be. :-D

Thanks, yeah, that's what I did. The ones in the bag had already been
frozen. I was just doing single layers on the sheet pan at a time.

The only green cat puke I've seen had long leaves of grass in it.

Won ton wrappers.

Little update, sf. I cooked up a few of these today and after boiling
them, decided to fry them a little in olive oil rather than eat them
just boiled. I wasn't thrilled with the texture just boiled. So after
frying slightly, I just ate them with some fresh grated parmigiano
reggiano and black pepper. YUM! None of them burst during boiling,
either.

Korean mondoos are typically boiled and then fried. Typically, they just
brown one side and that's good enough for them. The first time I made
mondoos, I deep fried them and it was great, although most Korean cooks
aren't going to do that. I just wasn't psychologically ready to boil and
then fry my potstickers. These days I can do that with no problem.

Thanks, Cheryl... that confirms my suspicion! I had a feeling I
wouldn't like them boiled but wasn't sure about fried. They are often
dredged in bread crumbs before frying. Did you do that too?

I haven't made homemade ravioli since I was first married in the early
80s and it was too much work. I never thought about using won ton
wrappers before lately. I will always fry them a little before using
them in any way after this experiment.

Not in this application, no.
