These Spinach Ricotta Vegan Ravioli are made easy by using pre-made wonton wrappers in place of pasta dough. Serve with your favorite sauce!
Ravioli is one of my favorite pastas! However, vegan-izing this dish can seem a little daunting when you realize that most pre-made ravioli dough has dairy in it. And I don’t know about you, but I wasn’t jumping at the thought of making my own dough from scratch.
Well, that is where wonton wrappers step in. They surprisingly make a great pasta dough replacement. AND, they can be found at just about every grocery store in the refrigerated section.
Step One: Assemble
For the filling, I went with a simple spinach and vegan ricotta combo. You can either buy vegan ricotta at the store, or make my recipe – get the recipe here.
You can totally change up the filling ingredients to anything you want. But you really can’t go wrong with this simple combo.
To assemble, simply lay one wrapper down, add your filling, brush the edges with water and place another wrapper on top. Squeeze the sides together to seal, and that’s it.
TSV TIP: If you want yours to look like mine, you will need to buy a ravioli cutter. Not a necessary step, but makes them look legit. The cutters are very inexpensive and you can get them on Amazon. You can find the ones I bought here.
Step Two: Serve
I opted to serve these with pesto…because, duh, pesto is amazing – and my Whole Foods was selling this amazing vegan spicy pesto at the time. But you can swap this for any type of sauce you have on hand.

Tips & Tricks
You can buy the ricotta pre-made or make my recipe – get it here.
If you want to freeze the ravioli, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer until frozen through. Transfer the ravioli to a freezer-friendly container and use as needed. No need to thaw the ravioli before cooking them – just add them to boiling water.

- If you are using a ravioli cutter, cut the ravioli and place on the baking sheet. Repeat this process until all of the ravioli are finished.

Using wantons is entirely brilliant!!! I got your circular ravioli cutter, witted both top and bottom wrappers, pressed really hard, and only had 1 ravioli break open (low boil)! I used soaked cashews and walnuts instead of store-bought vegan cheese, and garlic and mushrooms. Fabulous – thanks SO much. You are the best resource!
I have had the hardest time finding wonton wrappers that are gluten free and vegan. Any that I have found GF contain eggs. Do you know of any?
Unfortunately I don’t = I am personally not GF, so that wasn’t an issue for me.
These look delicious! Can’t wait to give this recipe a try.
Hey these look soooooooo good & fun to make! What sort of sauce would/did you serve them with?
I used a pre-made pesto, but I linked homemade pesto recipes in the post 🙂
