Tips: Homemade ravioli are always a special
treat. And, if you use wonton wrappers
rather than homemade pasta, they
require very little preparation.

DIRECTIONS:
- In medium bowl, beat goat cheese with electric mixer. Add egg and beat until smooth and creamy. (Alternatively. blend goat cheese and egg in food processor, then transfer to medium bowl.)
- Add 1/3 cup chives, parsley, savory, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste; mix thoroughly with a rubber spatula.
- Bring large, wide pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Lay about 12 wonton wrappers on clean work surface. Using pastry brush, moisten edges with water. Place a heaping teaspoonful of goat-cheese filling in center of each wrapper.
- Top each with another wonton wrapper, pressing down gently on filling to flatten slightly. Press wontons together around mounds of filling. Using a 2in serrated round cutter, cut out circles, discarding trimmings.
- Set ravioli on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining wontons and filling. (Ravioli can be prepared ahead; cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.)
- In large skillet, bring Vegetable and Herb Broth or Fresh Tomato Sauce with Thyme to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Stir in butter and keep sauce warm.
- Drop half of ravioli into boiling water. Cook until ravioli are tender and float to the surface, about 2 minutes. With slotted spoon, transfer ravioli to topping in skillet. Repeat with remaining ravioli.
