Ingredients
  

For the Ravioli Dough:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch of salt

For the Filling:

  • 1 1/4 cups pumpkin peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup ricotta use a vegetarian version if needed
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan or vegetarian alternative
  • 1 pinch of nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • A few fresh sage leaves
  • Grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Ravioli Dough

  • Pour the flour onto a clean work surface and make a well in the center.
  • Crack the eggs into the well and add a pinch of salt.
  • Using a fork, gradually mix the eggs with the flour.
  • Once the dough begins to form, knead it by hand for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

  • Steam or boil the pumpkin cubes until tender (about 15 minutes).
  • Drain well and mash with a fork until smooth.
  • Add ricotta, Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3: Shape the Ravioli

  • Divide the dough into two portions and roll them out thinly with a rolling pin or pasta machine.
  • On one sheet of dough, place small spoonfuls of filling about 1 inch apart.
  • Lightly brush around the filling with water and cover with the second sheet of dough.
  • Press around each mound of filling to seal the edges, removing any air pockets.
  • Cut out the ravioli with a knife or a ravioli cutter and place them on a floured surface to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Cook the Ravioli

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Drop in the ravioli and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until they float to the surface.
  • Remove carefully with a slotted spoon.

Step 5: Make the Sauce and Serve

  • In a skillet, melt the butter over low heat with the sage leaves until it turns golden brown.
  • Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the sauce.
  • Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan.
