Cheese Ravioli

Ingredients
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/4 cup grated, reduced-fat mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
1/4 cup chopped basil
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. salt
Ground black pepper
24 wonton wrappers
2 1/2 cups tomato sauce

Directions
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, basil, garlic, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to taste. Place 1 rounded tsp. of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Brush the edges of a wonton wrapper lightly with water. Fold the wrapper in half, making sure all the filling remains inside. Seal the edges by pinching. Continue with the remaining filling and wrappers.

Add salt to a large pot of boiling water. Gently add the ravioli, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until tender, stirring gently. Meanwhile in a small pot over low heat, cook the tomato sauce. Using a large slotted spoon, place the ravioli into 4 individual bowls, pour the sauce over each serving, and garnish with the additional basil.
