Pea and Parmesan Wonton Ravioli

This vibrant pea and Parmesan wonton ravioli offers a clever shortcut to homemade pasta without the need for a rolling machine. By using shop-bought wonton wrappers, you can create delicate, silken parcels filled with a bright, mint-scented pea purée. The sweetness of the peas pairs beautifully with the salty depth of the Parmigiano-Reggiano, creating a sophisticated vegetarian starter or main course that celebrates fresh, seasonal flavours.

Perfect for a quick midweek treat or an impressive dinner party dish, these ravioli are surprisingly light yet deeply satisfying. The simple dressing of melted butter and extra cheese allows the natural sweetness of the peas to shine through. Serve these golden parcels immediately with a final flourish of black pepper and extra shavings of Parmesan for a truly comforting authentic Italian-inspired meal.

Ingredients for Pea and Parmesan Wonton Ravioli

  • 650ml frozen peas (350g )

  • 80ml grated parmigiano-reggiano plus additional for serving

  • 2 teaspoons chopped mint

  • About 64 dumpling or wonton wrappers

  • 3/4 stick unsalted butter, melted

How to make Pea and Parmesan Wonton Ravioli

Cook peas in boiling salted water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and cool, then purée in a food processor. Stir in cheese, mint, and 1/2 teaspoons each of salt and pepper.

Put a rounded teaspoon filling in centre of a wrapper. Lightly brush edge of wrapper with water, then place a second wrapper on top and seal, pressing out any trapped air. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling, keeping ravioli covered as you work.

Boil ravioli in 2 batches in a pasta pot of salted boiling water until tender, 2 to 3 minutes per batch, removing with a slotted spoon. Drizzle with butter and sprinkle with cheese and pepper.
