Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 1 large butternut squash - halved lengthwise, peeled and seeded

  • 2 teaspoons butter

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ teaspoon allspice

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese

  • 50 wonton wrappers

  • 1 teaspoon egg white, lightly beaten

Sauce

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh sage leaves

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 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.

  3. Bake squash in preheated oven until tender and easily pierced with a fork, 45 to 65 minutes.

  4. 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.

  5. Fill a deep pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
