Perfect for busy weeknights or elegant dinner parties, Mock Ravioli is a crowd-pleasing dish that offers all the comfort of Italian cuisine with a clever shortcut.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, chopped spinach, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated and set aside.
Prepare a clean work surface and lay out 12 wonton wrappers. Place a small spoonful (about 1 teaspoon) of the cheese mixture in the center of each wrapper.
Using your finger or a small brush, lightly wet the edges of each wonton wrapper with water.
Place another wonton wrapper on top of each filled one, pressing down along the edges to seal and remove any air pockets. Repeat for all 12 ravioli.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil.
Carefully drop the ravioli into the boiling water in small batches, ensuring they do not stick to each other. Boil for 3-4 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers become tender and translucent.
While the ravioli cook, heat marinara sauce in a medium saucepan over low heat until warm.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked ravioli to a plate and gently pat them dry to remove excess water.
Serve the mock ravioli topped with warm marinara sauce and garnish with additional grated Parmesan, if desired.
