BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI WITH SAGE-BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the squash cut side up on a baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon butter in the hollow of each half. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the squash with a sheet of aluminum foil tucking in the edges.
• Bake squash in preheated oven until tender and easily pierced with a fork, 45 to 65 minutes.
• Scoop the cooked squash into a bowl, and mash until smooth. Mix in the allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and Parmesan cheese until well blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Fill a deep pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil.
• To make the ravioli, place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Brush edges with the egg white. Place about 1 tablespoon of the squash mixture in the middle of the wonton. Cover with a second wonton wrapper. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers and squash mixture until all have been used.
• Drop the ravioli into the boiling water, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Remove, drain, and keep warm until sauce is prepared.
• To make the sauce, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the sage. Continue to cook and stir until the sage is crispy but not browned. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place 6 to 8 raviolis on serving plates, and drizzle with sauce.

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.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI WITH A SAGE BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the shallots and saute for 1 minute. Add the squash puree and cook until the mixture is slightly dry, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cream and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 3 tablespoons cheese and nutmeg, to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Cool completely.
• Cut the pasta ribbons into 3-inch squares. Place 2 teaspoons of the filling in the center of each pasta square. Bring 1 corner of the square to the other, forming a triangle and seal the pasta completely. Add the pasta to pot of boiling salted water. Cook until al dente, about 2 to 3 minutes or until the pasta floats and is pale in color.
• Remove the pasta from the water and drain well. Season the pasta with salt and pepper.
• In a large saute pan, melt the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter. Add the sage to the butter and continue to cook until the butter starts to brown. Remove from the heat.
• Place some of the pasta in the center of each serving plate. Spoon the butter sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle the 2 ounces of cheese over each plate and garnish with parsley.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH RAVIOLI WITH BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Rub squash down with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Cut the tops off of each clove of garlic, rub with oil, and wrap in foil. Place on the baking sheet.
• Roast in the preheated oven until squash and garlic cloves are soft and browned, about 30 minutes.
• Remove squash and garlic from the oven. Remove the garlic skin and transfer to the bowl of a food processor. Add squash along with ricotta, grated Parmesan, brown sugar, and salt for filling. Blend into a thick paste. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and set in the refrigerator until cool.
• While squash is roasting, whisk semolina, all-purpose flour, and salt for pasta together in a bowl. Dump onto a counter and push flour into a mound. Dig a well in the center. Crack eggs into the well and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Start folding flour and egg onto each other; continue kneading and folding until it comes together as a dough. Add more flour or oil if it is too wet or dry, respectively. The final product should look smooth, and the dough should bounce back if you press your thumb into it. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
• If you have a pasta maker, pass the pasta through to make a pasta sheet about the thickness of a dime. If not, get to work with a roller on a lightly floured surface. Make several sheets.
• On one sheet, dollop about 2 tablespoons of squash filling 2 inches apart. Place another sheet over top and press the dough down around each lump of filling. Try to keep it tight, as you don't want a lot of air in the interior. But don't go too close, or you'll have filling trapped between pasta layers and ruin the seal. Use a ravioli stamp to stamp out and seal each ravioli. Set aside.
• In another pan, heat a thin layer of canola oil over medium heat. Working in batches, fry sage leaves until dark green and crispy. Remove to paper towel-lined plate to strain grease. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; simmer, stirring frequently, until browned, fragrant, and foamy, with brown bits in it, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in tarragon, thyme, and salt.
• While sauce is being prepared, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add raviolis and boil until they float, about 5 minutes. Drain and plate.
• Ladle butter sauce over pasta and garnish with fried sage. Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

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!
