- 5 sage leaves, chopped
- Kosher or sea salt, to taste
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter

- Cut the butternut squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
- Brush both halves with olive oil then place cut side down on a baking pan.

- Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Scoop out the butternut squash flesh and mash.
- Stir in the sage leaves and season with salt and pepper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thick.
- Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out 12-15 rounds.
- Brush the edges of each round lightly with water, then place 1 tablespoon of filling on one side of the rounds.
- Fold the dough over, making half moon shapes, pressing out the air.
- Press and crimp the edges to seal the pierogi.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
- Cook the pierogi for 3-5 minutes, or until tender.
- Drain.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
