Pumpkin ravioli with sage butter

Preparation – 15 minutes

note: you can easily make your own pumpkin puree by boiling the pieces into water and then drain and mash them into a puree. Or you can puree the pumpkin in the oven by wrapping it into tin foil until it’s soft enough to mash the pumpkin into a puree.  

If you're making your own pasta dough from scratch, then start with the pasta dough, follow our step-by-step recipe here. Make sure the pumpkin puree is as dry as possible and cooled off enough.

Mix the pumpkin puree, ricotta, egg and grated parmesan cheese to create the ravioli filling. Season the filling with some pepper, salt and nutmeg. The easiest way to divide the filling is by using a piping bag.

Fill a large pan with water and salt and bring to a boil. Meanwhile use the round cutter to create round pasta sheets. Scoop a bit of pumpkin filling in the middle of the round pasta sheet.

Use the kitchen brush to make the edges a bit wet and close the ravioli by placing another round pasta sheet on top. The sheets will stick together because of the water but close it even more by pressing it with a fork.

This also has the added benefit of making it look pretty.
