Pasta-less ravioli (a 'patient-created' recipe!)

If you are missing the little Italian stuffed creations called ravioli, one patient came up with a creative way to quench that craving. Give it a try! (It is also acceptable for the puree stage)

1 qt part skim ricotta
2 eggs
pinch of nutmeg
1 cup marinara sauce, heated
grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. In a bowl, mix the ricotta, egg and nutmeg until well blended. Spread in the bottom of a baking dish (9x9 or smaller or a glass pie dish will work as well).
3. Bake until set, approx 10-15 minutes.
4. Meanwhile heat the marinara sauce.
5. When ricotta is set, remove from oven, using a tablespoon or ice cream scoop, scoop out balls of ricotta onto a place. Using the back of a spoon, create a depression in the middle of the ball, fill with sauce and sprinkle cheese over the top if you like!

ENJOY!
