1 servings

Directions

Mix cheese, parsley, and lemon peel with pepper to taste. Place about 2-1/2 teaspoons cheese mixture in center of 1 won ton skin (keep remaining skins covered with plastic wrap). Brush skin around filling with water. Lay another skin on top of filling; with a 2-1/2 to 3 inch biscuit cutter, cut to make ravioli round; discard scraps.

(If making ahead, chill, covered, up to 6 hours.) Equally spoon pesto onto 6 salad plates; spread slightly. Meanwhile, bring 3 quarts water to boiling on high heat.
