Pumpkin ravioli recipe with sage butter sauce. A modern recipe for pumpkin ravioli with sage butter.


Pumpkin ravioli (also called tortelli) have a sweetish pumpkin puree filling, and they’re usually seasoned with a sauce made of sage & butter, and grated parmesan.
Today, I added a little American twist to my baked pumpkin ravioli recipe: I added pumpkin pie spice to the filling. Delicious, fun and new!

pumpkin ravioli dough recipe
-
Place flour, semolina and egg yolks in the mixer. Work them with the dough hook until you see a ball formed around it. Add a few drops of water if needed.
-
Roll out the pasta dough as thin as you can. If you have a pasta maker use it by gradually tightening the thickness. Cut the dough into large stripes, at least 4 inches tall.

Place all the other ingredients (spices, parmesan, sugar, salt, almond flour and mustard) in a bowl and mix well.
-
When the pumpkin is ready, smash it through a potato ricer, into the bowl with spices & co. Mix well.
-
Place a tablespoon of pumpkin filling on the pasta stripes, every 2 inches circa. Fold the dough over itself, vertically. Press with your fingers: all around the borders and between filling spots. Use a knife or a pasta cutter to nicely cut out extra dough.
