For this recipe, you can buy fresh pasta sheets, or wonton wrappers if you want to cut out the step of making your own fresh pasta dough.
Roasted Butternut Squash
1 small butternut squash cut in half lengthwise (seeds removed)
1 Tablespoon Olive Us Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
Preheat the oven to 375.
On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, roast the butternut squash, cut side down, for 35-40 minutes until slightly golden brown around the edges and tender when poked with a knife at the thickest part.
While the Squash is roasting, make the pasta dough, if not using ravioli wrappers or pasta sheets.
Pasta Dough
Ingredients:
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup water
In a medium sized bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the flour, add the slightly beaten egg, and mix. Mixture should form a stiff dough. If needed, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for about 3 to 4 minutes. With a pasta machine roll out 12″ long sheets of dough to 1/8″ thick, or the number 6 setting on a pasta machine. Cover sheets that are not being used with a towel so they do not dry out.
Roasted Butternut Squash & Goat Cheese Filling
1 1/2 cups peeled, roasted butternut squash, cooled
2 medium shallots, finely sliced
1 Tablespoon Olive Us Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
8 oz. chevre goat cheese
4 oz. Brie Cheese, rind removed
1 large egg
Sea salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
Over medium heat, sauté the shallots in olive oil until golden brown and caramelized. Place all of the ingredients including shallots, in to the bowl of a food processor except the egg. Pulse until ingredients are well combined. Check for seasoning and adjust to taste and add the egg and pulse until just combined.
Ravioli
In a large 8+ quart pot, bring salted water to a boil.
Assemble the ravioli laying the sheets out, using approximately one tablespoon of butternut squash filling per ravioli with at least one inch between raviolis. Use water, seal the edges firmly before cutting. Drop the ravioli a few at a time in to the salted boiling water until they float, approximately 2 minutes.
