Ingredients:

For the Pasta Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Pumpkin Filling:

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sage Butter Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 8-10 fresh sage leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pasta Dough:

  • On a clean work surface, mound the flour and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and add olive oil and salt.
  • Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

2. Make the Pumpkin Filling:

  • In a bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, grated Parmesan cheese, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

3. Roll Out the Dough:

  • Divide the rested dough into smaller portions. Working with one portion at a time, flatten the dough and run it through a pasta machine, gradually decreasing the thickness settings until the dough is thin and smooth.
  • Alternatively, use a rolling pin to roll the dough thinly on a floured surface.

4. Assemble the Ravioli:

  • Place teaspoon-sized dollops of the pumpkin filling on one sheet of rolled-out dough, leaving about an inch of space between each dollop.
  • Brush water around each dollop of filling to help seal the ravioli.
  • Place another sheet of rolled-out dough over the top and press gently around each filling mound to seal the edges.
  • Use a ravioli cutter or a knife to cut out individual ravioli squares. Press the edges firmly to ensure they are sealed.

5. Cook the Ravioli:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

6. Make the Sage Butter Sauce:

  • In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook until the butter begins to brown slightly and the sage leaves crisp up, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Serve:

  • Arrange the cooked ravioli on plates or a serving platter. Drizzle with the sage butter sauce and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Pumpkin Ravioli is a luxurious yet approachable dish that brings the flavors of autumn to the table. This recipe allows you to enjoy the seasonal goodness of pumpkin in a delightful pasta form, perfect for a cozy dinner at home or entertaining guests during Fall 2024.
