Ingredients
  

For the Pasta Dough:

  • 2 cups 00 flour or all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons water if needed

For the Butternut Squash Filling:

  • 1 ½ cups roasted butternut squash cubed and mashed
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Brown Butter Sage Sauce:

  •  
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6-8 fresh sage leaves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Prepare the Pasta Dough
  • On a clean surface, make a mound with the flour and create a well in the center.
  • Crack the eggs into the well, add salt and olive oil, and slowly mix with a fork.
  • Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • Step 2: Make the Butternut Squash Filling
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Toss cubed butternut squash with olive oil and roast for 25 minutes until soft.
  • Mash the roasted squash, then mix in ricotta, Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • Step 3: Roll and Fill the Ravioli
  • Roll out the pasta dough into thin sheets using a rolling pin or pasta machine.
  • Place small spoonfuls of filling onto one pasta sheet, spacing evenly.
  • Brush around the filling with water, then cover with another pasta sheet.
  • Press around the filling to remove air pockets and seal the ravioli.
  • Cut ravioli using a knife or ravioli cutter.
  • Step 4: Cook the Ravioli
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Gently add the ravioli and cook for 2-3 minutes until they float to the surface.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Step 5: Make the Brown Butter Sage Sauce
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it turns golden brown.
  • Add sage leaves and let them crisp up for about 30 seconds.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then toss in the cooked ravioli.
  • Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
  • Plate the ravioli, drizzle with the brown butter sauce, and garnish with grated Parmesan.
  • Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can freeze uncooked ravioli in a single layer, then transfer them to an airtight container for up to 3 months.
  • Cheese Options: Substitute ricotta with mascarpone for a creamier filling.
 
  • Serving Suggestion: Pairs well with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad.
