Gather Your Ingredients
Before we begin, let’s make sure we have all the necessary ingredients:
- 1 cup of cooked and mashed pumpkin
- 1/2 cup of ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
- 1 package of store-bought wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Fresh sage leaves for garnish
Making the Pumpkin Filling
To start, let’s prepare the pumpkin filling for our ravioli:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and mashed pumpkin, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a smooth filling.
- Place the pumpkin filling into a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner cut off. This will make it easier to fill the ravioli later. Set it aside while we move on to the next step.
Assembling and Cooking the Ravioli
Now, it’s time to assemble the ravioli and cook them to perfection:
- On a clean surface or cutting board, lay out several wonton wrappers.
- Using your piping bag or ziplock bag, pipe a small amount of pumpkin filling onto each wrapper, leaving enough space around the edges.
- Brush the edges of each wrapper with the beaten egg, then place another wonton wrapper on top of the filling.
- Gently press around the edges of the ravioli to seal them, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
- Repeat this process until all the pumpkin filling is used.
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, carefully add the ravioli and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked ravioli to a plate and set aside.
Finishing Touches with Sage Butter Sauce
Now, let’s give our savory pumpkin ravioli the finishing touch with a luscious sage butter sauce:
- In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
- Add the fresh sage leaves and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they become slightly crispy.
- Remove the sage leaves from the butter, leaving the infused butter in the pan.
- Drizzle the sage-infused butter over the cooked ravioli, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Garnish with the crispy sage leaves.
