Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 2 cups roasted butternut squash (about 1 medium squash)
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the Sauce:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
For the Filling:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the butternut squash in half, remove seeds, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast cut-side down for about 45 minutes until tender.
- 2. Once cooled, scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl. Add ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan, chopped sage, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
For the Dough:
- 1. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs.
- 2. Using a fork, mix flour into the eggs until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about five minutes until smooth.
- 3. Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll each piece thinly with a pasta machine or rolling pin until translucent.
For Assembling:
- 1. Place small mounds of filling (about one tablespoon apart) on one half of the rolled-out dough.
- 2. Fold over the other half of the dough and press around each mound to seal tightly.
- 3. Cut into individual ravioli using a knife or pastry cutter.
For Cooking:
- 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Drop in ravioli carefully and cook for about three minutes or until they float to the surface.
For the Sauce:
- 1. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- 2. Drizzle over cooked ravioli before serving.
