Butternut Squash Ravioli
- 500 g flour
- 500 g semolina flour
- 5 eggs
- Olive oil just a dash
- Salt to taste
- 2 large butternut squash
- 125 g butter
- 50 g brown sugar
- 1 whole onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- Olive oil just a dash
- 1 sprig fresh sage
- 150 g fresh ricotta
- Salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
- For the pasta dough: Mix both flours together in a bowl.
- Make a fountain in the center and add the eggs, olive oil and some salt.
- Mix with your hands, adding just enough water for the dough to bind.
- You want to have a ball of dough that is fairly hard and a little dry, so add very little water.
- Cover with a towel and let set for an hour or so.
- For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the butternut in half lengthwise and lay the squash on a baking sheet.
- Take 100g of the butter and divide it among each cavity of the squash.
- Sprinkle a little bit of brown sugar on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake until it starts to brown and the squash are soft to the tip of a knife, about 45 minutes.
- With a large spoon, scrape the squash off the skin into a bowl and set aside.
- Dice the onion about 1/8 inch; chop the garlic and thinly cut the sage.
- In a large saucepan on medium heat, heat up the olive oil.
- Add the onion and saute until golden brown.
- Then add the garlic and sage and sweat a little longer.
- Add the squash, season with salt and pepper and cook on medium heat until it has the consistency of a puree.
- Move to a food processor and pulse briefly to remove the large chunks.
- In a bowl, add the ricotta, season with salt and pepper and add to the squash puree.
- Fill a piping bag with the filling.
- Roll the dough with your pasta machine.
- Using a ravioli mold, fill each ravioli with the butternut squash filling.
- Cook the ravioli in a large saucepot with plenty of boiling salted water.
- Then saute in the remaining butter.
- Enjoy.
