Wonton wrappers work, but lead to slightly "watery" noodles in my experience. I wondered about using a double wrapper next time. However, I then invested in the Pasta Roller attachment for my stand mixer...and now homemade pasta dough is pretty easy.
In terms of stuffing, a spinach / ricotta is nice. The Silver Spoon cookbook (the bible for Italian cooking....and still a traditional gift to most Italian brides), suggest one egg (lightly beaten), ricotta, finely chopped spinach, 8 ounces of small-diced Mozzarella, a cup of Grated Parmigiano Regiano (used Pecarino for half of this last time..mmmmmmm), and herbs / seasonings to taste. From experience, I can tell you this created a marvelously flavoured filling and, ultimately, very tasty Ravioli.
