Scale
For the Pasta Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Pumpkin Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups roasted pumpkin puree (or canned pumpkin)
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For Serving:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 8-10 fresh sage leaves

Instructions
Make the Pasta Dough:
- Create a well with the flour on a clean work surface or in a large bowl. Crack the eggs into the center and add olive oil and salt.
- Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Prepare the Filling:
- Mix together the pumpkin puree, ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolk, chopped sage, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The filling should be flavorful and well-spiced.Assemble the Ravioli:
- Divide the pasta dough into 4 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll the dough through a pasta machine or with a rolling pin until very thin (about 1/16 inch).
- Cut the pasta sheets into rectangles about 3×4 inches. Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of half the rectangles.
- Brush the edges with water and top with the remaining pasta rectangles. Press firmly around the edges to seal, making sure to remove any air bubbles.
- Use a fork or your fingers to crimp the edges for a decorative seal.
Cook the Ravioli:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the ravioli in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the ravioli float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon.
Make the Sage Butter Sauce:
- While the ravioli cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently toss the cooked ravioli in the brown butter sage sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and additional sage leaves if desired.
