Add shallots and sage to same skillet. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add wine and cream. Increase heat and boil until sauce is reduced to generous 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes.
• Add ravioli to sauce; toss. Season with salt and pepper. Divide between bowls. Sprinkle with pecans and Parmesan.

PUMPKIN RAVIOLI WITH SAGE-BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine flour, eggs, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until dough holds together. Transfer to a clean work surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. If dough feels too dry, add water, a little at a time, and continue kneading. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Wash pumpkin, slice into 8 pieces, and discard seeds. Transfer pumpkin slices to the prepared baking sheet and cover with another sheet of foil to create a steaming pouch.
• Cook pumpkin in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes. Remove and let cool.
• While pumpkin is cooling, heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add onion and sage; cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Scoop pumpkin flesh out of the skin and into a stand mixer. Add onion mixture and heavy cream; beat for a bit until mixture cools down. Mix in egg, salt, and pepper; set filling aside.
• Lightly flour a work surface. Remove pasta dough from the refrigerator and divide into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into an oval-shaped flat disc. Run each disc through a pasta roller until it reaches the desired thickness and you have 8 long sheets of pasta. Lightly dust each sheet with flour.
• Lay one sheet of pasta on your work surface. Drop tablespoonfuls of filling for each ravioli evenly down the length of the sheet, then lay a second sheet of pasta on top. Use your fingers to press down and seal the pasta around each bit of filling, and cut ravioli with a pasta cutter or round glass. Repeat three more times with remaining 6 sheets of pasta and filling.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook ravioli in batches in the boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 5 minutes per batch.
• Meanwhile, heat butter and sage for sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until butter is browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 5 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to burn it. Season with salt and pepper. Add cooked ravioli to the sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

BASIC RAVIOLI WITH A BUTTER-SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the filling: Add the ricotta, Parmigiano and eggs and sprinkle with salt in a bowl. Adjust seasoning if needed. Put the filling in a pastry bag and reserve.
• For the pasta: Set the pasta roller on the widest setting (#1). Start with half the pasta dough; keep the other half covered until ready to use. Using your hands, flatten the dough as much as you can to facilitate it going through the pasta roller. Run the dough through the roller, twice dusting it in between rolls if it feels sticky. Fold the dough into thirds and turn it 90 degrees (a quarter turn) and run it through the pasta machine 2 to 3 times. Move the roller to the next setting (#2) and run the pasta through. Dust lightly with flour if the dough feels sticky. Continue to run the dough through the machine reducing the opening (or moving the setting to the next larger number) in between every roll. Stop when you get to the correct thinness, this will usually be around number 5 or 6 on the dial, but every machine is different, you will have to be the judge of your own pasta thickness.
• To assemble the ravioli: Lay out the dough on a flat surface. Brush the lower half of the dough (the part that is closest to you) lightly with water. This is the glue that will hold the ravioli together. Use the glue sparingly, if you use too much the pasta will slide and not stick. Pipe 1-inch balls of filling onto the pasta that has been brushed with water, leaving about 2 inches between each ball. Fold the top half of the pasta down over the filling to meet the bottom edge. Using your index fingers, poke around each filling ball to seal the ravioli shut, AND to make sure that there are no air bubbles. Using a fluted round cutter or a fluted pastry wheel or even a drinking glass, cut out each ravioli. Transfer to a sheet tray dusted with semolina or polenta and reserve until ready to use.
• To cook the ravioli and make the sauce: Add the butter to a large saute pan and bring to a medium heat. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and season with salt. Shake the pan to incorporate the butter and stock, and simmer until the stock has reduced a bit and the sauce looks velvety and is the consistency of heavy cream. If the sauce thickens too much, adjust the consistency with chicken stock. Add the sage and season with salt.
• Add the ravioli to the pot of boiling water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove the ravioli from the cooking water and put them immediately into the sauce. Bring the sauce to a boil, shaking frequently to be sure that the ravioli don'(TM)t stick to the bottom of the pan.
• Transfer the ravioli to a serving platter. Mangia Bene!
• Put the flour on a clean, dry work surface. Make a hole (this is also called a well) in the center of the flour pile that is about 8 inches wide (bigger is definitely better here). Crack all of the eggs and the yolk into the hole and add the olive oil, salt and water.
• Using a fork, beat the eggs together with the olive oil, salt and water. Using the fork, begin to incorporate the flour into the egg mixture; be careful not to break the sides of the well or the egg mixture will run all over your board and you will have a big mess! Also, don't worry about the lumps. When enough flour has been incorporated into the egg mixture that it will not run all over the place when the sides of the well are broken, begin to use your hands to really get everything well combined. If the mixture is tight and dry, wet your hands and begin kneading with wet hands. When the mixture has really come together to a homogeneous mixture, THEN you can start kneading.
• When kneading it is VERY important to put your body weight into it, get on top of the dough to really stretch it and not tear the dough. Using the heels of your palms, roll the dough to create a very smooooooth, supple dough. When done, the dough should look VERY smooth and feel almost velvety. Kneading will usually take from 8 to 10 minutes for an experienced kneader and 10 to 15 for an inexperienced kneader. Put your body weight into it, you need to knead! This is where the perfect, toothsome texture of your pasta is formed. Get in there and have fun!
• When the pasta has been kneaded to the perfect consistency, wrap it in plastic and let rest for at least 1 hour. If using immediately do not refrigerate.
• Roll and cut the pasta into desired shape. How smooth and supple!

LAMB RAVIOLI WITH A ROSEMARY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Filling:
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute lamb until fully cooked through. Cool slightly and mix in all the remaining ingredients. Set aside.
• Dough:
• Place the flour in a bowl large enough to mix the dough. Add salt and mix to combine. Make a well in the center of the flour to hold eggs. Add eggs, and with a fork, whip the eggs and slowly incorporate flour. When dough begins to form, work it together with your hands. Kneed dough until it is smooth. Let dough rest for about 10 minutes and then roll it out to the second thinnest setting on a pasta machine.
• Lay the pasta out flat and spoon a small amount of filling down the center of the pasta, about 1/2-inch apart. Lay another piece of pasta on top and press down to seal in the filling. Cut into individual ravioli and press the edges with the tines of a fork to seal.
• Bring a large pot of boiling, salted water to a boil. Boil the ravioli until they float, about 3 minutes. Drain the ravioli well.
• Add the blanched ravioli to the Rosemary Cream Sauce and cook until smooth and velvety. Garnish with shaved Montasio cheese and a sprig of rosemary, if desired.
• In a large skillet, saute the rosemary in butter until fragrant. Add cream and stock and bring to a simmer; heat through and let the flavors infuse. Add blanched ravioli and cook until smooth and velvety.

SAGE & BROWNED BUTTER RAVIOLI

Serve with cheese.

LAMB RAVIOLI WITH SAGE CREAM SAUCE RECIPE - (1/5)

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add leeks (or onions) and garlic and saute until leeks are wilted or onions are translusent. Add ground lamb to pan and cook thoroughly. Remove from heat, drain off excess fat, and allow mixture to cool. When mixture is cooled, add goat cheese, cayenne pepper and mix thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. ** I only used 4 oz. of goat cheese, but if you want more of a cheese filled ravioli, you'll want to use more cheese. Cut your pasta into strips about 2 " wide strips (you can go wider or narrower depending on how you like your ravioli. Starting 1 " from the end, add about 1 TBS. of filling. Repeat process by adding filling every 2″. Using a pastry brush, brush all edges with egg wash. Cover bottom strip with another strip of similar length. Using a pasta cutter or knife, cut into squares so that filling is in center of the square. If using a pasta cutter/crimper, crimp all sides of the ravioli to seal. If you don't have a pasta cutter, Use your fingers to tightly seal all sides of the ravioli. You can use a fork to crimp edges. Cook the ravioli in salted boiling water for 3-5 minutes (cook time depends on how thin your pasta dough was). The raviolis will float to the top as they cook, but I recommend testing one for doneness. The filling is cooked, so all you need to worry about is how tender you want the pasta. Over medium heat, saute sage in butter. Add cream and reduce by 1/2. Add Parmesan cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper. *You can reduce fat and calories by substituting 1/2 and 1/2 or whole milk, but the sauce will be noticeably less rich. If you'd like to accent the plate with some pumpkin cream sauce, simply combine equal parts of cream sauce with canned pumpkin. You can also add sauteed mushrooms (morrels) to dish to make earthier.
