Ingredients

  • For the pasta:
  • 3 cups (255 grams) all-purpose/plain flour
  • 3 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons water
  • For the filling:
  • 1 cup (262 grams) ricotta cheese
  • cup (150 grams) pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup (22 grams) Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg beaten
  • Salt & pepper
  • Fresh nutmeg
  • ¼ cup (56 grams) unsalted butter
  • 16 fresh sage leaves
  • Parmesan cheese grated or shaved
  • Marinara sauce

Instructions

For the pasta:

  • Working on a clean dry surface, put the flour in a mound and make a well in the center. Crack all of your eggs into the well along with yolk, salt, olive oil, and water. Use a fork to beat the eggs mixture; be careful not to break the sides of the flour and make a mess. I use my other hand to keep the sides intact.
  • Once the mixture is not so runny, use your hands to bring it all together and get well combined, then, start kneading.
  • Knead using the heel of your palm for about 5-10 minutes, texture should be smooth and elastic.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

For the filling:

  • While the dough is chilling, make the filling. 
  • Dice the pumpkin and cook in boiling water for 10 minutes, allow to cool.
  • In a bowl, mix the ricotta, cheese, egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Once the pumpkin is cool mash and add to the ricotta mixture, mix well. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to a simmer.
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide into 4 equal parts. Dust your work surface with flour in to receive the rolled dough.
  • Using an electric or hand pasta machine, pass the dough through the 2 or 3 times until you achieve 1/8" thickness (you should be able to see your hand through it).
  • Lay the dough out on your floured surface and brush half with the egg wash.
  • Spoon the filling 2 inches apart on the egg washed half and gently fold over the other half of the dough. 
  • With your fingers gently press out air around each mound of filling and simply cut the ravioli into any shape you like.
  • In a medium saucepan melt the butter over low heat.
  • Add the  ravioli to simmering water until they rise to the top, approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and place onto a towel
  • While the ravioli cooks turn up the heat for the butter to medium. Add the sage leaves and cook for about 3 minutes until crispy and the butter is brown. Drain on a paper towel.
  • Once the ravioli are cooked, drain them, add to a pasta bowl and top with the butter, crispy sage, shaved Parmesan cheese and a side of marinara sauce
