This recipe was based on a free-floating idea I must have came across on the Internet (ravioli made with egg roll wrappers! Fancy that!). When I went back to research it, I found this recipe on the Food Network, which I used as a guide.
1 batch tofu ricotta, with the spinach included
1 package baby bella mushroom caps, chopped
6 egg roll wrappers
1 egg white, mixed with 1 tsp water
1/2 cup marinara sauce
Put the chopped mushrooms in a frying pan with a little water, and cook, covered, over medium-high heat until the mushrooms are cooked through. Drain and add to the tofu ricotta.
Lay out one of the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Brush with the egg mixture. Put four teaspoons of the ricotta-mushroom mixture on the wrapper, separated by about an inch. Lay the other egg roll wrapper on top, and press down firmly around the filling. Turn a Mason jar upside down over each filling lump, pressing to seal the edges. Cut into 4 ravioli. Lay on a floured surface and cover with a towel to prevent them drying out. Repeat with the other 4 egg roll wrappers.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Meanwhile, heat the marinara sauce. When the water is boiling, drop 2-3 ravioli in and cook until they float, about 2 minutes. Gently remove the ravioli with a slotted spoon and lay them on a plate, covered, until the ravioli are all done. Top with warm marinara sauce.
Ingredient Note: If you don't want to make the tofu ricotta, you could use low-fat 'normal' ricotta. Just add 1/2 cup chopped cooked spinach and 1 Tbsp garlic powder, and whiz it in a food processor until it's evenly mixed. You'll probably have ricotta-mushroom mixture left over, so save it to make more ravioli with or add it to Zucchini Eggplant Lasagna later in the week.
Storage Note: If you don't cook all the ravioli at once, you can freeze them by putting them on a single layer (not touching) on a cookie sheet in the freezer. Once they're frozen solid, put them in containers or ziploc bags. (If you just throw them all into one bag and stick it in the freezer, they'll stick together and turn into a gummy mess.)
