Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a large baking sheet with a good amount of cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, pesto, peppers and mozzarella.

Place wonton wrappers on prepared baking sheet so wontons become saturated with oil. Place 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture onto center of each wrapper. Dip a finger into water and use it to moisten edges of wrapper; fold over one corner of wrapper to make a triangle and press sides together to create a seal. (If desired, create decorative lines along edges of wontons by pressing tines of a fork along bottom edge of each wonton.)

Bake until wontons are golden brown on edges and dough is just cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
