Light and Easy Pumpkin Ravioli Recipe

We lightened this sweet and nutty fall favorite by losing the heavy cream. Our other secret: Wonton wrappers make for perfect, easy "pasta."

1. Combine: 1/2 cup canned pumpkin, 1 lightly beaten egg yolk, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan, 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/8 teaspoon sugar, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg in a bowl. In a second bowl, lightly whisk 1 egg white.

2. Arrange: 16 wonton wrappers on parchment paper. Place a rounded teaspoon of pumpkin filling near corner of each wonton. Brush edges with egg white; fold into triangles and press around filling outward. Cover with damp paper towel.
