Whole Wheat Butternut Squash Ravioli With Creamy Sauce Recipes

EASY BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425˚F (220˚C).
• Add the diced butternut squash, chopped onion, whole garlic cloves, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a baking sheet, tossing until fully coated.
• Bake until the squash is golden brown and tender, about 30 minutes.
• While the squash is in the oven, make the dough.
• When the squash is finished cooking, add it to the food processor along with the brown sugar and Parmesan cheese. Pulse until it becomes smooth. Set aside to chill.
• Rinse the bowl of the food processor.
• To the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, eggs, and olive oil, and pulse until the dough comes together into a large ball and swirls around the processor.
• Remove the dough, wrap in plastic wrap, and rest it the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Cut 2 ounces (55 g) of pasta dough from the ball and roll out into large, wide, thin sheets of pasta.
• Lay a sheet over an empty ice cube tray, and press the dough down gently into each of the holes.
• Fill each hole with a tablespoon of the butternut squash filling. Place a second sheet on top of the ice cube tray. Press down on all the sides of the raviolis. Flip the ice cup tray over to release the pasta and cut off any excess dough.
• Separate each ravioli with a knife or cutting tool.
• Gently place a few raviolis into boiling salted water and cook until the raviolis float and firm up slightly, 2-3 minutes. Scoop out the ravioli and set aside briefly to cook a new batch or dump out the water and start the hazelnut brown butter sauce.
• In a pan, add 3 tablespoons of the butter, sage leaves, and hazelnuts. Cook until the butter browns deeply, the nuts are heated through, and the sage is fried and crispy. Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice and season to taste.
• Swirl in 2 more tablespoons more of chilled butter, to thicken the sauce. Add the cooked raviolis back in and toss gently to coat the pasta.
• Serve the pasta with brown butter sauce.
• Enjoy!

BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roast the squash. Cut the squash in half vertically and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and pinches of salt and pepper and place cut side-down on the baking sheet. Prick the skin several times with a fork and roast for 40 minutes. Wrap the shallot, garlic cloves, and sage in a piece of foil with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. After roasting, let the squash, shallots, garlic, and sage cool for at least 30 minutes.
• Make the pasta dough according to this recipe. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and set aside to rest while you make the filling.
• Make the filling. Pulse the walnuts in a food processor until very finely ground. Add the cooked shallot, garlic, and sage to the food processor. Measure 1½ packed cups of the squash, and transfer to the food processor. Add the vinegar, nutmeg, salt, and pepper and pulse until very smooth. Chill until ready to use.
• Roll out the pasta according to the instructions in this recipe, skipping step 5 (the folding) and stopping after step 6 (after the sheets of pasta; before they get cut into strands). Spread the 4 pasta sheets on a well-floured work surface. Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the filling onto 2 of the pasta sheets (the spacing will depend on the size of your ravioli stamp). Place the remaining pasta sheets over the sheets that are dotted with filling. Gently press the dough around the filling to seal. Use a ravioli stamp or cutter to cut out ravioli shapes. Cook the ravioli in a pot of salted boiling water for 4 minutes. I like to drop them into the water as I'm ready to start my sauce so that they're done around the same time.
• Make the sauce. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sage and cook for 3 minutes. Add the wine, thyme, and salt and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
• Spoon the sauce over the ravioli and top with the walnuts and freshly ground black pepper. Add the roasted butternut squash cubes, sautéed kale, and grated pecorino, if desired.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Whisk 2 eggs, egg yolks, 2 tablespoons water and 1 tablespoon oil in a medium bowl. Add all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. With the mixer on medium speed, add the egg mixture and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. (Add more all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too sticky to come together into a ball.) Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, combine butternut squash, onion, garlic, pepper, 2 tablespoons oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until the squash is golden brown and tender, about 25 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a food processor, add Parmesan and puree until smooth.
• Dust 2 rimmed baking sheets with flour. Put a large pot of water on to boil.
• Set up a pasta machine and turn it to the largest setting. Cut the dough into 4 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, press it into a rectangle. Run the dough through the machine four times, folding it in half on itself each time before running through the machine again .
• Turn the pasta machine setting one notch smaller and run the dough through once. Continue turning the machine to smaller settings and running the dough through until it is about 1/16 inch thick. Place the sheet of pasta on a lightly floured work surface. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
• Whisk the remaining egg and 1 tablespoons water together in a small bowl. Determine approximately where the halfway point is lengthwise on a sheet of pasta. Brush one half of the dough with egg wash. Using about 2 teaspoons each, spoon mounds of the butternut squash filling onto the egg-washed side, leaving about 3/4 inch between the mounds. Fold the other half of the pasta sheet over to cover the filling. Seal the edges around each mound of filling and press out any excess air. Use a pastry cutter or knife to cut individual ravioli. Transfer the ravioli to the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining pasta sheets and filling.
• Add half the ravioli to the boiling water and stir a few times to submerge and separate them. Cook at a gentle boil until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the ravioli to a serving bowl. Repeat with the remaining ravioli.
• Heat butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, swirling the pan to encourage even browning, until the mixture starts to turn brown and smell nutty, about 2 minutes. Season with the remaining pinch of salt. Pour the mixture over the butternut squash ravioli and gently toss to coat.
