Ingredients: Ravioli:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoons minced shallots
- 1 cup roasted butternut squash puree
- Salt
- Freshly ground white pepper
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Pinch nutmeg
- 1 recipe pasta dough, rolled out into wide ribbons, about 1/4-inch thick
Sauce:
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 12 fresh sage leaves
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for topping
Instructions:
- In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the shallots and saute for 1 minute. Add the squash puree and cook until the mixture is slightly dry, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cream and continue to cook for 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in 3 tablespoons cheese and nutmeg, to taste. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cool completely. Cut the pasta ribbons into 3-inch squares. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each pasta square. Bring 1 corner of the square to the other, forming a triangle and seal the pasta completely.
- Add the pasta to pot of boiling salted water. Cook until al dente, about 2 to 3 minutes or until the pasta floats and is pale in color.
- Remove the pasta from the water and drain well. Season the pasta with salt and pepper.
- In a large saute pan, melt the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter. Add the sage to the butter and continue to cook until the butter starts to brown. Remove from the heat.
- Place some of the pasta in the center of each serving plate. Spoon the butter sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle the cheese over each plate and garnish with parsley
