Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large butternut squash - halved lengthwise, peeled and seeded
2 teaspoons butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ cup Parmesan cheese
50 wonton wrappers
1 teaspoon egg white, lightly beaten
¼ cup unsalted butter
¼ cup chopped fresh sage leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the squash cut side up on a baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon butter in the hollow of each half. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the squash with a sheet of aluminum foil tucking in the edges.
  • Bake squash in preheated oven until tender and easily pierced with a fork, 45 to 65 minutes.
  • Scoop the cooked squash into a bowl, and mash until smooth. Mix in the allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and Parmesan cheese until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Fill a deep pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
  • To make the ravioli, place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Brush edges with the egg white. Place about 1 tablespoon of the squash mixture in the middle of the wonton. Cover with a second wonton wrapper. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers and squash mixture until all have been used.
  • Drop the ravioli into the boiling water, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Remove, drain, and keep warm until sauce is prepared.
  • To make the sauce, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the sage. Continue to cook and stir until the sage is crispy but not browned. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place 6 to 8 raviolis on serving plates, and drizzle with sauce.

3 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, to work with
2 cups butternut squash, cubed
1/4 cup yellow onion, diced
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
paprika
rosemary
savory
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup vegetable stock
3 tablespoons cornstarch
10 cherry tomatoes

Steps:

  • Dough:.
  • Mix both flours and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry mix and crack all three eggs in the well.
  • hand-knead dough or use a dough attachment on a mixer.
  • If dough is too sticky to handle, add more flour until it is manageable.
  • Roll out dough and cut into two pieces.

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Drop around 6 ravioli at a time into the pot. When they rise to the surface they're done.

  • Assembly:.
  • Take the ravioli from the oven and put on a plate.
  • Whisk the sauce one last time and drizzle over the ravioli.
  • sprinkle the cherry tomatoes on top.
  • Enjoy!

BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI WITH BROWN BUTTER SAGE SAUCE



Butternut Squash Ravioli with Brown Butter Sage Sauce image

Provided by James Briscione

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings; 30 to 36 ravioli

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small butternut squash
Fresh Pasta
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
Small pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Semolina flour, for dusting
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 sprigs fresh sage
1 clove garlic, unpeeled and crushed
Lemon zest, for serving
7 ounces "00" or all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups) (see Cook's Note)
3 ounces semolina flour (about 1/2 cup) (see Cook's Note)
3 large eggs
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place the squash on the prepared baking sheet and roast until easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut the roasted squash in half and remove the seeds with a spoon. Scoop 2 cups of the roasted squash flesh into a food processor (reserve any extra for another use). Add the grated Parmesan and nutmeg, season with salt and pepper and process until smooth. Check the consistency of the puree; if it is slightly wet and loose, add 2 tablespoons of the flour and process again. Check the consistency and add the third tablespoon, if needed. Transfer the filling to a bowl.
  • Set up a pasta roller attachment on a stand mixer (or secure a hand roller on the side of your work surface). Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough until it is thin enough to pass through the pasta roller. Set your roller to the widest setting. Turn on the pasta roller and pass the dough through once. Fold the rolled-out piece of dough over itself, then pass through the roller again. If the edges of the dough begin to fray or the dough is sticky or damp, lightly dust both sides with flour. Repeat four or five more times, until the dough is smooth.
  • Adjust the roller to the second widest setting, dust both sides of the dough with flour, and pass it through twice without folding. Repeat rolling, adjusting to a thinner setting each time, until the dough is thin enough that it is slightly translucent. Once the dough gets too long to work with, cut it in half and work with one piece at a time. (Dust the resting dough piece with semolina and hold under a kitchen towel while you finish rolling the other piece.)
  • Dust a baking sheet and work surface with semolina flour. Lay out one sheet of freshly rolled pasta on the prepared surface. Square off the ends and trim the pasta into 4 equal-sized sheets. Spoon tablespoon-sized mounds of filling in two rows down the length of one pasta sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each mound. Lightly dampen the pasta around the filling (with a mister or brush) and carefully drape a second sheet of pasta over the filling to cover completely. Press firmly around each mound to squeeze out the air and seal the pasta sheets together. Trim the edges and cut the sheet into individual ravioli with a pizza cutter or rolling pasta cutter. Place the finished ravioli on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the filling and cutting process with the remaining two pasta sheets.
  • Finish rolling out the remaining pasta dough and repeat the filling and cutting process. Formed ravioli may be held in the refrigerator, in a single layer and dusted with semolina, for 24 hours or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Put the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Allow the butter to cook, stirring occasionally, until it is amber in color, 7 to 10 minutes. As soon as the butter changes color, remove it from the heat and add the sage and garlic. Set aside for the flavors to develop.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rapid boil. Gently drop the ravioli into the boiling water and stir immediately. Leave the ravioli to cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Once cooked, lift the ravioli from the water with a spider or slotted spoon and add to the butter sauce with 1/4 cup pasta water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Hold at a simmer for 1 minute, tossing the ravioli with the sauce to coat well.
  • Remove the garlic clove from the sauce. Divide the ravioli between bowls, pouring some of the sauce into each. Top with lemon zest and Parmesan curls.
  • Mound the flour in the center of a clean countertop or cutting board. Make a well in the center of the flour 3 to 4 inches wide.
  • Crack the eggs into the well and add a pinch of salt. Using a fork, break the yolks and begin to beat the eggs as you would if making scrambled eggs.
  • Continue stirring the eggs with a fork in large circles, slowly incorporating the flour. When the eggs form a thick mass and become difficult to stir, about 3 minutes, fold the loose flour from the edges into the pile with a bench scraper and knead until a smooth dough forms. Discard any excess flour.
  • Shape the dough into a flat disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap and set aside to rest for 20 minutes before rolling. If waiting more than 1 hour, refrigerate or freeze the dough. The dough will keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

Tips:

  • For the ravioli dough, use a pasta machine or a rolling pin to achieve the desired thinness.
  • To make the ravioli filling, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix until well combined.
  • To assemble the ravioli, place a small spoonful of the filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Fold the wonton wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, then press the edges together to seal.
  • To cook the ravioli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the ravioli. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the top.
  • For the creamy squash sauce, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened.
  • Add the butternut squash, chicken broth, and cream to the saucepan and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
  • To serve, place the ravioli in a bowl and top with the creamy squash sauce. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if desired.

The ravioli are filled with a creamy ricotta and Parmesan cheese filling, and the creamy squash sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
