Add roasted butternut squash, egg, ricotta, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and salt and pepper to food processor. Pulse until smooth. If butternut squash filling feels loose, add 1/2 cup more grated Parmesan. Set aside. Make Sage Cream Sauce Add butter to saucepan over medium heat. When butter melts, add shallot and sage. Cook until shallot starts to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour and stir to combine to make a roux. Continue to cook and stir the roux, about 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in wine, stock and whipping cream. Bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking often, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. Sage Cream Sauce Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a large baking dish. Cut pasta sheets into 5 1/2-inch x 6-inch rectangles.

Add filling to cooked pasta rectangles and roll up. Add cannelloni seam side down to baking dish. Cover with grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese. Bake until sauce bubbles, filling is hot and cheese is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Garnish cannelloni with toasted walnuts and chopped sage, if desired.

This is a great recipe for a fall meal. The butternut squash is in season and the sage cream sauce is a perfect complement. I would recommend adding a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce for extra flavor.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The butternut squash was a bit too sweet and the sage cream sauce was a bit too heavy. I think I would have liked it better if the sauce had been a bit lighter.
