Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups butternut squash, peeled and chopped
½ onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 oz grated parmesan cheese
2 cups flour
4 eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup roasted hazelnut, chopped
10 leaves fresh sage
salt, to taste
1 lemon, juiced
1 oz grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
  • Add the diced butternut squash, chopped onion, whole garlic cloves, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a baking sheet, tossing until fully coated.
  • Bake until the squash is golden brown and tender, about 30 minutes.
  • While the squash is in the oven, make the dough.
  • When the squash is finished cooking, add it to the food processor along with the brown sugar and Parmesan cheese. Pulse until it becomes smooth. Set aside to chill.
  • Rinse the bowl of the food processor.
  • To the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, eggs, and olive oil, and pulse until the dough comes together into a large ball and swirls around the processor.
  • Remove the dough, wrap in plastic wrap, and rest it the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Cut 2 ounces (55 g) of pasta dough from the ball and roll out into large, wide, thin sheets of pasta.
  • Lay a sheet over an empty ice cube tray, and press the dough down gently into each of the holes.
  • Fill each hole with a tablespoon of the butternut squash filling. Place a second sheet on top of the ice cube tray. Press down on all the sides of the raviolis. Flip the ice cup tray over to release the pasta and cut off any excess dough.
  • Separate each ravioli with a knife or cutting tool.
  • Gently place a few raviolis into boiling salted water and cook until the raviolis float and firm up slightly, 2-3 minutes. Scoop out the ravioli and set aside briefly to cook a new batch or dump out the water and start the hazelnut brown butter sauce.
  • In a pan, add 3 tablespoons of the butter, sage leaves, and hazelnuts. Cook until the butter browns deeply, the nuts are heated through, and the sage is fried and crispy. Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice and season to taste.
  • Swirl in 2 more tablespoons more of chilled butter, to thicken the sauce. Add the cooked raviolis back in and toss gently to coat the pasta.
  • Serve the pasta with brown butter sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup mashed, cooked butternut squash
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup mascarpone cheese
1 egg yolk
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (16 ounce) package round wonton wrappers
2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, unpeeled
chopped fresh sage to taste
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place cooked squash into a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir in mascarpone cheese, egg yolk, and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, mixing until the filling is smoothly combined.
  • Place a wonton wrapper onto a working surface. Wet the tip of a finger in water, and run it all along the outer edge of the wonton skin to moisten. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton. Fold the wonton in half to make a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers.
  • Place a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in butter and unpeeled clove of garlic. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • Drop the filled raviolis into the boiling water, a few at a time, and cook until they float to the top, about 2 minutes. Drain the raviolis, and transfer them to the skillet. Turn the heat under the skillet up to medium-high, and cook just until the raviolis are infused with garlic flavor, about 2 or 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped sage, more black pepper, and extra Parmesan cheese to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid any squash that has soft spots or bruises.
  • Roast the butternut squash before making the ravioli: This will help to bring out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a food processor to make the ravioli filling: This will help to create a smooth and consistent filling. If you don't have a food processor, you can also use a blender.
  • Be careful not to overcook the ravioli: They should be cooked until they are just tender, but not mushy. You can test the ravioli by dropping one into a pot of boiling water. If it floats to the top, it is done.
  • Serve the ravioli with your favorite sauce: You can use a simple tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a pesto sauce. You can also top the ravioli with grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, or chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash ravioli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its creamy filling and tender pasta, butternut squash ravioli is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give butternut squash ravioli a try. You won't be disappointed!
