Ingredients

Scale

For the Ravioli Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Pumpkin Filling:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped sage
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  • On a clean surface, make a mound with the flour and create a well in the center.
  • Crack the eggs into the well, add the olive oil and salt.
  • Using a fork, gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough begins to form.
  • Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Filling

  • In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped sage, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix until well combined and set aside.

Step 3: Roll and Fill the Ravioli

  • Divide the rested dough into four portions.
  • Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll out one portion of dough into a thin sheet (about 1/16 inch thick).
  • Place small spoonfuls of the filling (about 1 teaspoon each) onto the dough sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
  • Brush a little water around the edges of the filling.
  • Place another sheet of dough over the top and press around the filling to seal.
  • Cut out the ravioli using a ravioli cutter or knife.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Step 4: Cook the Ravioli and Make the Sauce

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the sage leaves.
  • Cook until the butter starts to brown and the sage leaves become crispy.
  • Drain the ravioli and add them to the skillet with the butter sauce.
  • Toss gently to coat the ravioli in the sauce.
  • Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is rolled out thinly to avoid thick and chewy ravioli.
  • Use fresh sage for the sauce to enhance the flavor.
  • If you don’t have a pasta machine, a rolling pin works just as well, but take care to roll the dough evenly.
