For ravioli:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Place garlic in heavy
small skillet. Drizzle with oil and toss to
coat. Roast in oven until garlic is very tender,
about 25 minutes. Cool. Peel garlic. Combine
with goat cheese in small bowl; mash with fork.
Season with salt and pepper. |

You can use
12 won ton wrappers if you plan to fold them in
half to make the ravioli. Or you can use 24
wrappers if you plan to place two wrappers
together and cut with a round pastry cutter.
Either way is fine. |
|
3 |
Place won
ton wrappers on work surface. Spoon cheese
mixture into center of wrappers. Brush edges of
wrappers with egg white- with a brush, or use
your fingers to rub it on. Fold over to form
semicircle or triangle (depending on what shape
your wrapper is), or place another wrapper on
top. Press edges to seal and gently cup your
hand on top to work the air pockets out of the
ravioli. Rub on a little more egg white to make
sure edges are sealed. If you're using a pastry
cutter, cut out the ravioli and then use egg
white to seal the edges. Place prepared ravioli
in a single layer on a floured cookie sheet,
cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate
until ready to use. (These can be made a day
ahead.) |

For pesto
sauce: Finely chop first 5 ingredients together.
Heat 1 tsp. oil in heavy medium skillet over
medium heat. Add herb mixture; sauté 1 minute.
Add broth; increase heat to high and boil until
liquid is reduced to 2 Tbsp., about 3 minutes.
Add cream. (This can be made a day ahead- cover
and chill.) |
|
5 |
Cook ravioli
in large pot of boiling salted water until just
tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and divide
between 2 plates. Boil sauce to thicken
slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon
over ravioli. Sprinkle with Parmesan, if
desired. |
