Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh butternut squash (about 1 medium squash)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 6 sage leaves
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve the butternut squash, remove seeds, and roast cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 30-40 minutes until tender.
- In a bowl, combine flour and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center and add the egg. Mix until a shaggy dough forms; knead gently for about 5 minutes.
- Once the squash cools slightly, scoop out the flesh and mash it in a bowl. Mix in Parmesan and nutmeg until combined.
- Divide pasta dough into quarters, rolling each piece to about 1/16 inch thick. Place spoonfuls of filling on one sheet, brush water around each mound, cover with another sheet, and seal.
- Boil salted water in a large pot and cook ravioli for about 3-4 minutes or until they float.
