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.

Idea of the Week: Stretch Your Budget with Self-Mailers

Companies can save substantial amounts of money by eliminating the need for envelopes. The possibility of creating a self-mailer should be considered with any direct mail piece.  A self-mailer is simply a piece of mail that doesn't require an envelope. All of the necessary mailing information is located on one of the outside panels.  Because self-mailers do not require envelopes, you must be more creative when designing the format, since you don't have the luxury of an envelope to contain any extra sheets of printed material.  Here are some things to consider when designing a self-mailer: Will the delivery address be printed directly on the self-mailer, or will self-adhesive labels be used?  The amount of written material in the self-mailer will determine the overall size of the mailer.  Information needs to flow quickly and smoothly from the initial pitch to the fine print. The fewer words needed to convey your message, the better.  The type of closure needs to assure safe passage through the mail. Staples are used often, but many people find them unappealing. Miniature self-adhesives are available in many colors, shapes, and sizes.  If perforated sections are used, keep them in mind so that nothing can slip loose while being passed through the mail.
