Swiss Chard Ravioli
1 large bunch Swiss chard, leaves only
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch of dried red pepper flakes
24 won ton wrappers
Olive oil, Parmesan cheese and
toasted pine nuts for garnishes
Stack Swiss chard leaves and cut into
thin strips. Place leaves in a saucepan
with about 1 1/4 cups water. Cook
about 6 minutes over medium-high
heat, until tender. Drain well, in colander,
pressing out excess water.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over
medium-high heat. Add 1 clove
minced garlic and a pinch of dried red
pepper flakes. Add the pre-cooked
Swiss chard leaves and sauté until
heated through, about 4 minutes. Salt
to taste.
Place about 2 teaspoons of the sautéed
Swiss chard in the center of each
won ton wrapper. Moisten edges of
wrapper with a little water. Fold in
half to form a triangle; press seams
together. Cook in a large amount of
boiling salted water until tender,
about 3 to 4 minutes; drain.
Serve drizzled with extra-virgin olive
oil. Top with freshly grated Parmesan
cheese and toasted pine nuts.
