Ravioli Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this delicious pumpkin ravioli recipe.

• pumpkin puree
• large egg
• Pecorino Romano cheese
• plain dried breadcrumbs
• sugar
• salt
• ground nutmeg
• round dumpling wrappers
• water

Sauce:

• unsalted butter
• shallots
• dry white wine
• heavy cream
• fresh sage
• fresh chives
• salt

How To Make Pumpkin Ravioli

Line a fine-mesh sieve with dampened cheesecloth, add the pumpkin puree, and let it strain for 1 hour. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the egg, cheese, breadcrumbs, sugar, salt, and nutmeg.

Arrange six dumpling wrappers on a work surface. Place 1 tablespoon of pumpkin mixture in the center of each, brush the edges with water, top with a second wrapper, press out air bubbles, and seal the edges.

Transfer the ravioli to a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Bring salted water to a gentle simmer in a KitchenAid Evergreen Design Series 6-Quart Ceramic Stockpot.

For the sauce, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a KitchenAid Evergreen Design Series 3-Quart Ceramic Saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook 8–9 minutes until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in the remaining butter and heavy cream until melted. Stir in sage, chives, and salt, keeping warm.

Cook half of the ravioli in the simmering water for 3 minutes, stirring gently once or twice. Remove with a slotted spoon, divide between two plates, and repeat with the remaining ravioli.

Spoon the sauce over the ravioli and serve with additional grated cheese, if desired.
