Ingredients
For the Ravioli Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Pumpkin Filling:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped sage
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 10 fresh sage leaves
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- On a clean surface, make a mound with the flour and create a well in the center.
- Crack the eggs into the well, add the olive oil and salt.
- Using a fork, gradually mix the flour into the eggs until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Make the Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped sage, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Mix until well combined and set aside.
Step 3: Roll and Fill the Ravioli
- Divide the rested dough into four portions.
- Using a pasta machine or rolling pin, roll out one portion of dough into a thin sheet (about 1/16 inch thick).
- Place small spoonfuls of the filling (about 1 teaspoon each) onto the dough sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
- Brush a little water around the edges of the filling.
- Place another sheet of dough over the top and press around the filling to seal.
- Cut out the ravioli using a ravioli cutter or knife.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Step 4: Cook the Ravioli and Make the Sauce
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the sage leaves.
- Cook until the butter starts to brown and the sage leaves become crispy.
- Drain the ravioli and add them to the skillet with the butter sauce.
- Toss gently to coat the ravioli in the sauce.
- Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

- Ensure the dough is rolled out thinly to avoid thick and chewy ravioli.
- Use fresh sage for the sauce to enhance the flavor.
- If you don’t have a pasta machine, a rolling pin works just as well, but take care to roll the dough evenly.
