Description
A simple recipe for homemade pumpkin ravioli featuring sun-dried tomatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained)
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 package wonton wrappers or fresh pasta dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup reserved pasta water
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, egg yolk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated. This is your filling.
- Place one teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper or pasta square.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water. Place a second wrapper on top and press firmly around the filling to seal, removing any air pockets. Cut into desired ravioli shapes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the ravioli into the boiling water. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are tender.
- While the ravioli cooks, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Before draining the ravioli, reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water.
- Drain the ravioli and add them directly to the skillet with the butter and garlic. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil.
Notes
- If using fresh pasta dough, roll it thin before cutting and filling.
- For a richer sauce, add a splash of heavy cream to the butter and garlic mixture.
- You can substitute butternut squash puree for pumpkin puree.
