Savory Pumpkin Ravioli
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 2 hours Cook: 10 min.

This pumpkin ravioli recipe may sound complicated, but if you organize yourself, it really isn't. The result will be pure pumpkin heaven. I like to sprinkle the ravioli with Parmesan as well. You can also add salt and pepper to taste to the rich, sage sauce. —Christopher Presutti, Jacksonville, Florida
Ingredients
-
2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
-
5 large eggs
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
FILLING:
-
1 small pie pumpkin (about 2-1/4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
-
4 teaspoons chopped shallot
-
1/3 cup butter, cubed
-
2 teaspoons minced fresh sage
-
3/4 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
-
1 small bay leaf
-
1 large egg, lightly beaten
-
SAUCE:
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream
-
3 tablespoons butter
-
2 teaspoons minced fresh sage
Directions
-
1.
Place 2-1/2 cups flour in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Beat eggs and oil; pour into well. Stir together, forming a ball. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 8-10 minutes, adding remaining flour if necessary to keep dough from sticking. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
-
2.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute pumpkin and shallot in butter until tender. Add the sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Transfer to a food processor; cover and process until blended. Return to the pan; stir in cream and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until thickened. Discard bay leaf.

3.
Divide pasta dough into fourths; pat into rectangle and roll 1 portion at a time to 1/8-in. thickness. (Keep remaining dough covered until ready to use.) Working quickly, place rounded teaspoonfuls of filling 1 in. apart over half the pasta sheet. Brush around filling with egg. Fold sheet over; press down to seal. Cut into squares with a pastry wheel. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

4.
Bring a stockpot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer; cook for 1-2 minutes or until ravioli float to the top and are tender. Drain and keep warm.

5.
