Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Italian cheese blend
1 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
40 wonton wrappers
Oil for deep-fat frying
Marinara or spaghetti sauce, warmed

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients.
Position a wonton wrapper with one point toward you. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Place 1 tablespoon filling in the center of wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling; fold sides toward center over filling. Roll toward the remaining point. Moisten top corner with water; press to seal. Repeat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°.
Fry wontons, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with marinara.
Yield: 40 wontons.
To Make Ahead: Prepare the wonton filling the day before. Fill the wontons the day of the party; cover with damp paper towels and plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
