Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 butternut squash, approximately 2 pounds, cubed (about 3 cups)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons
1 1/2 teaspoon herbs de Provence
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more 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
1 package small wonton wrappers
3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
2 tablespoons torn fresh sage leaves
1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries, or chopped dried cherries, or mixture of both
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

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 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, walnuts and cranberries 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 serve.

TORTELLINI WITH FRESH SAGE BUTTER



Tortellini with Fresh Sage Butter image

Provided by Rozanne Gold

Categories     Pasta     Quick & Easy     Fall     Sage

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 bunches fresh sage
1 pound good-quality tortellini
7 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Wash sage and dry well. Remove 6 leaves and cut into very fine julienne. Coarsely chop enough sage to get 1/2 packed cup.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes.
  • Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet. Add chopped sage, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Cook over medium heat until butter just begins to brown and bubble; the sage should get crispy.
  • Drain tortellini in a colander, saving 1/4 cup cooking water. Immediately put pasta in a large warm bowl, adding remaining butter. Toss with melted butter-sage mixture and add enough cooking water to make a smooth sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle with julienned sage. Divide immediately among warm pasta bowls.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortellini: Fresh or frozen tortellini can be used for this recipe. Fresh tortellini will cook more quickly, so adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Use high-quality butter: The butter is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality butter. Unsalted butter is the best choice, as it allows you to control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Cook the tortellini al dente: Tortellini should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent them from becoming mushy when they are added to the sauce.
  • Brown the butter correctly: The butter should be browned until it is golden brown and smells nutty. This will add a rich flavor to the sauce.
  • Add the sage at the end: The sage should be added to the sauce at the very end, just before serving. This will prevent it from becoming bitter.

Conclusion:

Tortellini with Sage Brown Butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tender tortellini, browned butter, and fragrant sage creates a flavorful and satisfying meal. This dish can be served as a main course or as a side dish. It is also a great option for a vegetarian or vegan meal. With its simple ingredients and quick preparation time, Tortellini with Sage Brown Butter is a recipe that you'll want to make again and again.
