2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup ketchup, divided use

    Lunch Recipe
    Spinach & Ricotta Filled Agnolotti with Tomato Basil Sauce

    Servings: 6
    Notes: In Italian, agnolotti means “priests’ caps”, which is what they’re shaped like. Because round won ton wrappers (which can be stuffed and folded into half-moons) are difficult to find, we’ve used the square wrappers. The agnolotti need to be chilled for two hours before finishing.

    WHAT YOU NEED:

    8 cups fresh spinach leaves
    3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
    1 1/2 cups chopped Vidalia or other sweet onion
    1 large garlic clove, chopped
    1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
    2 tablespoons (1/2 ounce) grated parmesan cheese
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    4 ounces Eggology fresh egg white
    36 won ton wrappers
    1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes; un-drained
    2 tablespoons salt 
    Dash pepper

    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot.  Add spinach; cover and cook 2 minutes or until spinach wilts.  Remove spinach from pan. Drain.
    2. Add 2 teaspoon oil to pan and place over medium heat until hot.  Add onion and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Add spinach; sauté 3 minutes.  Place spinach mixture in food processor; pulse 10 times or until finely chopped.  Combine spinach mixture, ricotta, Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and egg white in a medium bowl.
    3. Working with 1 won ton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to keep them from drying), spoon 1 1/2 teaspoons spinach mixture into center of each wrapper.  Moisten edges of dough with water; fold in half, pinching edges together to seal.  Place filled won tons on wax paper in airtight container; chill for 2 hours.
