• Coarsely chop the hazelnuts and set them aside.
• Split butternut squash in half and rub with olive oil on the flesh. Lay cut side down on a baking sheet.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes until a fork pierces the flesh easily. Allow it to cool enough to be able to handle it and scoop out the flesh, about 15 minutes. Use a big spoon or ice cream scooper.
• Purée the pulp in a food processor or blender , adding a little water, if needed.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet and when the foaming subsides, add half of the shallots and sauté for 1 minute. Reserve the remaining shallots.

Transfer the formed ravioli to the wax paper-lined baking sheet and repeat the process with the remaining 8 wontons, brushing 4 at a time.

• Using a slotted spoon, drain and transfer 4 ravioli to each plate. Drizzle with the white-wine cream sauce and sprinkle some toasted hazelnuts on top.
