Miss Juice made some pretty yummy ravioli one time... from scratch, at that. I don't have her prowess, nor patience to make my own dough, but I tried to make my own ravioli also... using wonton wrappers.

this is by no means a secret. It's not exactly the same as ravioli dough, but it's a quick and easy substitute, plus i was already making some actual wonton anyway. Since I wound up with a bunch of extra wrappers and extra meat, i decided to try my hand at some Fusion Ravioli.

I used a mixture of ground pork, feta, spinach, onions, garlic, mustard, and tender loving care. It turned out pretty well, when I tested a couple raviolis to see how long I would need to cook them, without contracting trychinosis.

I put away the ravioli to cook up at another time, since I needed to eat a bunch of just-made wonton, as well. I was pretty busy the last couple days, but I finally had some time to sit down and cook up these ravioli. only there was a problem...

when you let uncooked wonton dough sit (along with moisture from the meat), the dough sort of "melts" and reforms into a solid ball. So basically, I was stuck with a mound of inseparable wonton-wrapped ravioli.

I tried to pry them apart, but it was hopeless. so instead of cooking them individually, i just browned the outside and then baked it... to make a ravioli cake!!

I never made ravioli for you...you're high again!

(anyway, it was fetuccini, and it was delicious...but if I HAD made ravioli, I have no doubt that would have been delicious as well)
