PUMPKIN RAVIOLI WITH SAGE AND TOASTED HAZELNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Remove from the heat and stir in the nutmeg. Pour the butter sauce over the ravioli and sprinkle with the toasted hazelnuts and Parmesan cheese. Grate the amaretti cookies over the ravioli and serve immediately.

PUMPKIN RAVIOLI WITH SAGE WALNUT PUMPKIN BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place pumpkin on pan, cut sides up, drizzle with olive oil and generously season with brown sugar, salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, or until soft. Allow to cool slightly.
• Scoop out the flesh of the pumpkin into the bowl of a food processor. Add egg and nutmeg, and purée until smooth. You should have about 3 cups (1 ½ pounds) purée total. Set aside 1/3 cup pumpkin purée for the sauce.
• Dust a work surface with semolina flour. Lay out a sheet of pasta, then place 2 teaspoons of filling every few inches. Brush around the filling with water, then place a second pasta sheet over the top. Press the top sheet of pasta down around the mounds of filling. Cut 2 ½-inch square ravioli with a large ravioli stamp or sharp knife, trimming as needed, and crimp around the edges with a fork to seal individual raviolis.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil and season generously with salt. Drop in ravioli a few at a time and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until soft but still al dente. Set aside ¼ cup pasta cooking water, then use a large slotted spoon to remove the cooked ravioli to a plate.
• Make the sauce: Heat the butter, sage and walnuts in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter browns, about 5 minutes. Add the reserved 1/3 cup pumpkin filling, a few grinds of nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and sizzling, then add 2 tablespoons reserved pasta cooking water, stirring until sauce is glossy and smooth; thin with additional pasta water if desired. Spoon sauce onto plates and top with ravioli and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
