Homemade Pumpkin Ravioli with Garlic Brown Butter

A delightful homemade pumpkin ravioli paired with a rich garlic brown butter sauce, perfect for cozy evenings and impressing friends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh sage leaves (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl or on a clean countertop, pile the flour and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into this well, and add the olive oil and salt. Use a fork to beat the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges of the well. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Rest the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap or cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Mix together the pumpkin puree, ricotta, Parmesan, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Adjust the seasoning.
  4. Roll Out the Dough: Divide your dough into four equal portions. Roll out one portion to about 1/8 inch thick using a pasta machine or a rolling pin.
  5. Shape the Ravioli: Cut out circles from the rolled-out dough, place a teaspoon of filling in the center of half the circles, wet the edges, place another circle on top, and gently press the edges to seal completely.
  6. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the ravioli, cooking for about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Make the Brown Butter Sauce: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, add the garlic, and cook until fragrant. Remove from heat and add fresh sage leaves.
  8. Toss the Ravioli: Transfer the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the brown butter sauce and gently toss to coat.
  9. Serve: Plate your delicious ravioli, garnishing with more Parmesan and freshly cracked black pepper.

Notes

Consider serving with a side of arugula salad and toasted nuts for added texture.
