Prep time: 30 | Cook time: 30 | Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 cup brown butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh sage leaves
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. Toss butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned.
  3. While the squash is roasting, make the pasta dough. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, egg, and water. Stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into two balls. Roll out each ball of dough into a thin sheet, about 1/16-inch thick.
  6. Spread the butternut squash filling over one sheet of dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  7. Top with the remaining sheet of dough and press the edges together to seal.
  8. Cut the ravioli into squares or circles. Cook the ravioli in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the top.
  9. While the ravioli are cooking, make the brown butter sage sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook until the butter is browned and has a nutty aroma. Stir in the sage leaves and cook for 1 minute more.
  10. Drain the ravioli and toss with the brown butter sage sauce.
