Butternut Squash Tortellini With Butter Sage Sauce Recipe 425

BUTTERNUT SQUASH TORTELLINI WITH BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the tortellini, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a foil-lined baking sheet toss together the butternut squash, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, herbs de Provence, salt, and pepper. Bake in the oven until soft and golden, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Cook the shallots and garlic until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.
• In a food processor, combine the butternut squash mixture, the shallot mixture, and the ricotta cheese and pulse a few times to blend. Add the crushed amaretti cookies, the nutmeg, and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until smooth. The tortellini filling can be made one day ahead.
• To make the tortellini, lay out 6 wonton skins, keeping the remaining skins inside the package or under a very lightly dampened paper towel. Place 1 tablespoon of squash mixture in the middle of each skin. Dip a pastry brush in a little water and wet the edges of the skin. Gently fold the square wrapper into a triangle, making sure the edges are securely closed and there are no air pockets inside. Dampen the two bottom corners of the longest side of the triangle and gently bring them together, pressing lightly to secure. Place the formed tortellini on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Before laying out another 6 wonton sheets, be careful to dry the work surface. This will help keep tortellini from sticking to the baking sheet. Continue until all the butternut squash mixture is used. There should be approximately 36 tortellini. (The tortellini can be formed, frozen on the baking sheet, transferred to a tightly sealed plastic bag or container and stored for up to six months. To cook, simply toss the frozen ravioli into the salted boiling water and cook for 4 minutes.)
• To make the sauce and serve, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Add the sage, walnuts and cranberries and let cook until the butter starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and season with salt, and pepper.
• Stir to combine. Then, gently place the tortellini in the boiling water and gently stir. When they begin to float they are done, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, gently spoon the tortellini onto a serving platter, Top with the brown butter sauce, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH TORTELLINI WITH BUTTER SAGE SAUCE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 180C. Cut butternut squash into half and remove the seeds. Alternatively, you can peel and cut it into cubes. Do not discard the seeds. Reserve them to make some really tasty roasted pumpkin seeds! Place butternut squash on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Season with a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Drizzle 2 tbsp of olive oil over it. 2. Place garlic cloves on a sheet of aluminium foil. Season with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Fold into a parcel and roast together with the butternut squash and garlic for 30 minutes until soft. If the butternut squash needs more time to cook, remove garlic parcel from the oven first and leave it aside to cool. 3. While the butternut squash is roasting, make the pasta dough. Mix '00' flour and semolina together and tip them onto a working surface. Form a well in the middle and crack in the eggs. Using a fork, beat the eggs and gradually incorporate the flour from the sides of the well. When a lumpy dough starts to form, it's time to get your hands working. 4. Knead the dough by pulling the dough away from you and rolling it back. Repeat until the flour is absorbed into the dough. Next, using the press-fold-turn action, knead the dough till elastic and smooth. Form the dough into a ball and cover with plastic wrap. Leave it to rest for 30 minutes. 5. When the butternut squash is ready, scoop the flesh out and mash it further with a fork. Upwrap garlic parcel and remove the skin. The roasted garlic should be soft and slightly browned. Lightly mash it as well. 6. Combine and mix butternut squash mash, roasted garlic, ricotta cheese, crushed amaretti biscuits, grated nutmeg, Dijion mustard, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. 7. Divide rested dough into 4 sections with a scraper and keep 3 sections covered with a plastic wrap. Flatten 1 section with your fingers and roll the dough through the pasta machine by starting with the widest setting. Fold the dough into half and run the dough through the machine a few more times. Subsequently, click a setting down and run the dough through till you reach your desired thickness. Flouring the pasta sheet periodically will prevent them from getting too sticky and hence easier to handle. The dough thickness for this recipe is No. 7 on our Ampia 150. Lay the pasta sheet on a dusted workspace and cut out circles with an 8cm cutter. 8. Place 1 tsp of the filling on the middle of each disc. We used two ways to fold our tortellini. The first way is to fold the pasta disc into half, sealing the sides with a little water as you do so. Wet the back of the right edge and bring it inwards, meeting the other side. Another method is to begin with the above steps, but this time combining the two edges around your index fingers, forming a 'ring'. Play around and have fun deciding which method you prefer! 9. To cook the tortellini, season water with salt (every litre of water with 1 tsp of salt) and add them into a good simmer. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the pasta dough is cooked. Transfer the tortellini onto a warm plate. 10. Finally, make a quick brown butter sage sauce. Add butter, pine nuts, sage leaves and a pinch of black pepper in a pan over medium heat. Cook till butter is brown and bubbling, sage leaves are crisp and pine nuts are golden. Drizzle sauce over tortellini and garnish with Parmigiano Reggiano shavings. Ready to dig in!
