Provided by Brian Genest

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic
4 tablespoons ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup semolina flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup canola oil
10 leaf (blank)s fresh sage leaves, or as needed
10 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 pinch salt
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Rub squash down with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Cut the tops off of each clove of garlic, rub with oil, and wrap in foil. Place on the baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until squash and garlic cloves are soft and browned, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove squash and garlic from the oven. Remove the garlic skin and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add squash along with ricotta, grated Parmesan, brown sugar, and salt for filling. Blend into a thick paste. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and set in the refrigerator until cool.
  • While squash is roasting, whisk semolina, all-purpose flour, and salt for pasta together in a bowl. Dump onto a counter and push flour into a mound. Dig a well in the center. Crack eggs into the well and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Start folding flour and egg onto each other; continue kneading and folding until it comes together as a dough. Add more flour or oil if it is too wet or dry, respectively. The final product should look smooth, and the dough should bounce back if you press your thumb into it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
  • If you have a pasta maker, pass the pasta through to make a pasta sheet about the thickness of a dime. If not, get to work with a roller on a lightly floured surface. Make several sheets.
  • On one sheet, dollop about 2 tablespoons of squash filling 2 inches apart. Place another sheet over top and press the dough down around each lump of filling. Try to keep it tight, as you don't want a lot of air in the interior. But don't go too close, or you'll have filling trapped between pasta layers and ruin the seal. Use a ravioli stamp to stamp out and seal each ravioli. Set aside.
  • In another pan, heat a thin layer of canola oil over medium heat. Working in batches, fry sage leaves until dark green and crispy. Remove to paper towel-lined plate to strain grease. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; simmer, stirring frequently, until browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in tarragon, thyme, and salt.
  • While sauce is being prepared, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add raviolis and boil until they float, about 5 minutes. Drain and plate.
  • Ladle butter sauce over pasta and garnish with fried sage. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Time 2h40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 (2 lb) butternut squash, approximately 2 pounds, cubed (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons herbes de provence
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus more
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
2 large shallots, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
4 small amaretti cookies, crushed (about 1/3 cup)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
wonton wrapper (1 package small)
3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
2 tablespoons torn fresh sage leaves
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup port wine
1 bay leaf
4 peppercorns
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon shallot, chopped in half
1 garlic clove
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • To make the tortellini, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a foil-lined baking sheet toss together the butternut squash, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, herbs de Provence, salt, and pepper. Bake in the oven until soft and golden, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Cook the shallots and garlic until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
  • In a food processor, combine the butternut squash mixture, the shallot mixture, and the ricotta cheese and pulse a few times to blend. Add the crushed amaretti cookies, the nutmeg, and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until smooth. The tortellini filling can be made one day ahead.
  • To make the tortellini, lay out 6 wonton skins, keeping the remaining skins inside the package or under a very lightly dampened paper towel. Place 1 tablespoon of squash mixture in the middle of each skin. Dip a pastry brush in a little water and wet the edges of the skin. Gently fold the square wrapper into a triangle, making sure the edges are securely closed and there are no air pockets inside. Dampen the two bottom corners of the longest side of the triangle and gently bring them together, pressing lightly to secure. Place the formed tortellini on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Before laying out another 6 wonton sheets, be careful to dry the work surface. This will help keep tortellini from sticking to the baking sheet. Continue until all the butternut squash mixture is used. There should be approximately 36 tortellini. (The tortellini can be formed, frozen on the baking sheet, transferred to a tightly sealed plastic bag or container and stored for up to six months. To cook, simply toss the frozen ravioli into the salted boiling water and cook for 4 minutes.).
  • To make Port Wine Glaze, place all ingredients except butter in a small pot over medium-high heat and reduce to half about 3 ounces, whisk in butter and strain into a gravy boat or something similar.
  • To make the sauce and serve, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sage, pinenuts and let cook until the butter starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and season with salt, and pepper.
  • Stir to combine. Then, gently place the tortellini in the boiling water and gently stir. When they begin to float they are done, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, gently spoon the tortellini onto a serving platter, Top with the brown butter sauce, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and Wine glaze.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH WITH BROWN BUTTER VINAIGRETTE



Roasted Butternut Squash With Brown Butter Vinaigrette image

This roasted butternut squash is every bit as caramelized as you'd want it to be, without the prep work that's usually involved. First, it's cooked without being peeled: The skin is a crisp counterpart to the jammy interior. (If you do want to get rid of the peel, it tears away easily after roasting.) Then, it's dressed with a vinaigrette made with brown butter, vinegar and dried chile. Mint is added for freshness and flaky salt for crunch, and you could also throw on some cheese - Parmesan, Gruyère, ricotta - for more richness. Serve the squash over sturdy salad greens, or add nuts or pepitas to the browning butter for more texture.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large butternut squash (3 to 4 pounds)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more as needed
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves (optional)
Flaky salt

Steps:

  • Arrange a rack at the bottom of the oven and heat to 425 degrees. Slice the squash 1/2-inch-thick crosswise. (No need to peel.) Cut slices in half, if desired, to make half moons. Remove the seeds from the squash with a spoon and discard.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the squash with the olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer and roast on the bottom rack until browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Flip and roast until tender, another 5 to 10 minutes.
  • After you flip the squash, make the brown butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides, the milk solids turn golden-brown and it smells nutty, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vinegar and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside on the stovetop until the squash is ready. (The heat from the oven keeps the butter from hardening.)
  • Dip a piece of squash into the vinaigrette, try it, and adjust vinegar, salt and red-pepper flakes to taste. Spoon the vinaigrette over the squash and top with mint leaves, if using, and flaky salt.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH TORTELLINI WITH BUTTER SAGE SAUCE RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Butternut Squash Tortellini with Butter Sage Sauce Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by cookism

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the pasta dough:
300 g '00' flour, plus more for dusting
100 g semolina flour
4 eggs
For the filling:
900 g butternut squash
3 garlic cloves
Salt & black pepper, to taste
3 to 4 tbsp olive oil
60 g amaretti biscuits, crushed
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus more to serve
For brown butter sage sauce (per serving):
20 g butter
4 sage leaves
1 tbsp pine nuts
Pinch of black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 180C. Cut butternut squash into half and remove the seeds. Alternatively, you can peel and cut it into cubes. Do not discard the seeds. Reserve them to make some really tasty roasted pumpkin seeds! Place butternut squash on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Season with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil over it. 2. Place garlic cloves on a sheet of aluminium foil. Season with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Fold into a parcel and roast together with the butternut squash and garlic for 30 minutes until soft. If the butternut squash needs more time to cook, remove garlic parcel from the oven first and leave it aside to cool. 3. While the butternut squash is roasting, make the pasta dough. Mix '00' flour and semolina together and tip them onto a working surface. Form a well in the middle and crack in the eggs. Using a fork, beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the sides of the well. When a lumpy dough starts to form, it's time to get your hands working. 4. Knead the dough by pulling the dough away from you and rolling it back. Repeat until the flour is absorbed into the dough. Next, using the press-fold-turn action, knead the dough till elastic and smooth. Form the dough into a ball and cover with plastic wrap. Leave it to rest for 30 minutes. 5. When the butternut squash is ready, scoop the flesh out and mash it further with a fork. Upwrap garlic parcel and remove the skin. The roasted garlic should be soft and slightly browned. Lightly mash it as well. 6. Combine and mix butternut squash mash, roasted garlic, ricotta cheese, crushed amaretti biscuits, grated nutmeg, Dijion mustard, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. 7. Divide rested dough into 4 sections with a scraper and keep 3 sections covered with a plastic wrap. Flatten 1 section with your fingers and roll the dough through the pasta machine by starting with the widest setting. Fold the dough into half and run the dough through the machine a few more times. Subsequently, click a setting down and run the dough through till you reach your desired thickness. Flouring the pasta sheet periodically will prevent them from getting too sticky and hence easier to handle. The dough thickness for this recipe is No. 7 on our Ampia 150. Lay the pasta sheet on a dusted workspace and cut out circles with an 8cm cutter. 8. Place 1 tsp of the filling on the middle of each disc. We used two ways to fold our tortellini. The first way is to fold the pasta disc into half, sealing the sides with a little water as you do so. Wet the back of the right edge and bring it inwards, meeting the other side. Another method is to begin with the above steps, but this time combining the two edges around your index fingers, forming a 'ring'. Play around and have fun deciding which method you prefer! 9. To cook the tortellini, season water with salt (every litre of water with 1 tsp of salt) and add them into a good simmer. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the pasta dough is cooked. Transfer the tortellini onto a warm plate. 10. Finally, make a quick brown butter sage sauce. Add butter, pine nuts, sage leaves and a pinch of black pepper in a pan over medium heat. Cook till butter is brown and bubbling, sage leaves are crisp and pine nuts are golden. Drizzle sauce over tortellini and garnish with Parmigiano Reggiano shavings. Ready to dig in!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh butternut squash. If you only have frozen squash on hand, thaw it completely before using.
  • To save time, you can use pre-made tortellini. Look for varieties that are filled with cheese, vegetables, or meat.
  • If you don't have brown butter on hand, you can easily make your own. Simply melt unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
  • For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the prosciutto and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • To make this dish ahead of time, cook the tortellini and butternut squash according to the recipe instructions. Let cool completely, then store in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the tortellini and squash in the microwave or on the stovetop. Then, prepare the brown butter sauce and assemble the dish as directed in the recipe.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash tortellini with brown butter sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The butternut squash adds a sweet and nutty flavor to the dish, while the brown butter sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
