  4. 16 oz of goat cheese
  5. 8 cloves of garlic (minced)
  6. 2/3 cup of whole milk Ricotta cheese
  7. two egg yolks (put the egg whites into a separate bowl to the side add a tblspn of water and mix, will use for sealing the edges of the raviolis)
  8. salt and pepper to taste
  9. RAGOUT-
  1. 16 oz baby portabella mushrooms (chopped roughly)
  2. 16oz of shitake mushrooms (chopped roughly)
  3. 1/3 cup of fresh basil (finely chopped)
  4. 5 tblsp butter
  5. 3 shallots (chopped fine)
  6. juice of one lemon
  7. 2 cups of half and half or whipping cream
  8. 1/3 cup grated parmesan/romano cheese, and extra to sprinkle as the finishing touch to the meal.

Mix your goat cheese, ricotta,4 cloves of minced garlic,artichoke hearts, 2 egg yolks, and salt and pepper to taste.

Bring large pot of water to boil, and fill your raviolis.

Add about a teaspoon of your filling to the wanton and fold.
