Ingredients
For the Ravioli:
- ? 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- ? 3 large eggs
- ? 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- ? 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- ? 1/2 teaspoon salt
- ? 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ? Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sage Butter Sauce:
- ? 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- ? 10-12 fresh sage leaves
- ? Salt and pepper to taste
- ? Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Pasta Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Mix together until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. ??
2️⃣ Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3️⃣ Roll Out the Dough:
After resting, divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece into thin sheets using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
4️⃣ Assemble the Ravioli:
Lay one sheet of pasta on a floured surface. Spoon small mounds of the pumpkin filling (about 1 teaspoon) about 2 inches apart. Lay another sheet of pasta on top and press around the filling to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets. Cut out the ravioli using a cutter or knife. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
5️⃣ Cook the Ravioli:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain. ?✨
6️⃣ Make the Sage Butter Sauce:
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter is golden and the sage is crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
7️⃣ Serve:
Toss the cooked ravioli gently in the sage butter sauce. Serve warm, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious pumpkin ravioli with sage butter! ?️?
