Ghost Purse Ravioli, also known as fagottini, are whimsical pasta pouches filled with creamy cheese, spinach, and herbs, delicately tied at the top like little edible gifts. These elegant pasta parcels are perfect for impressing guests or elevating a weeknight meal, with their tender wrappers and customizable savory fillings.

Ingredients

  • Fresh pasta sheets or wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup spinach, blanched and finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 8–10 fresh sage leaves

Instructions

  1. Lay out pasta sheets or wonton wrappers on a lightly floured surface.
  2. In a bowl, mix ricotta, Parmesan, spinach, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of each pasta square.
  4. Brush edges with beaten egg. Gather corners and pinch at the top to seal like a purse.
  5. Press gently to remove air and ensure a tight seal.
  6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook purses for 3–4 minutes, or until they float.
  7. In a skillet, melt butter and add sage leaves. Let sizzle for 1 minute.
  8. Gently toss cooked ravioli in the sage butter and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use blanched chives to tie the purses for added presentation.
  • Try alternative fillings like mushroom, mascarpone, or roasted pumpkin.
  • Don’t overfill to prevent bursting during cooking.
  • Use a piping bag or spoon for precise filling portions.
