Try This Mushroom Ravioli
Make a dish similar to what Italian restaurants serve in your own home.
I love mushrooms, and one of my favorite dishes when I go out to eat is mushroom ravioli. I tried to recreate it, and I think I did a pretty good job. I couldn't find pasta sheets at Publix, so I used wonton wrappers. In the future, I'd like to try to find the pasta sheets somewhere (maybe Whole Foods?), but it tastes just fine with wonton wrappers.
I sauteed baby portabella mushrooms in oil with garlic salt and black pepper, and then add a few splashes of soy sauce. There's nothing better to me than mushrooms in soy sauce. Let me tell you -- they were good! I could have eaten the whole pan.

After the mushrooms were cooked, I pulsed them in my blender (since I don't have a food processor). I ended up leaving several big chunks, which is how I like the filling. Then, I started filling the wonton wrappers. I didn't measure out how much filling I used for each wrapper, but it wasn't much. I started out with too much, and it came out of the sides when I sealed them, so I had to use less.
Sealing the wrappers was the most difficult for me. I got very frustrated because they didn't seem to be sealing, but once I let them sit when I moved on to filling the next wrapper, they sealed.

After I sealed them, I would drop three at a time into my pot of boiling water. I would advice sliding them off of a spatula. It seemed to be less "traumatic" for the ravioli and worked well for us. Boil them for 3 minutes.
The raviolis were a little slimy on the bottom, which could be because I put them directly onto a plate when I took them out of the water. Next time, I will put them in one layer on a paper towel. Hopefully that will help a bit. All in all, though, they were really good!
