• Ready In: 1hr 15mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 1 pot
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 9 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick plus 1 tbsp.)
• 1 small pumpkin, cut in half and deseeded
• 1 yellow onion, peeled and halved
• kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
• 1⁄2 cup pine nuts, toasted and divided
• wonton wrapper
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 roma tomatoes, small dice
• 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaf, sliced
• 1 half lemon

directions

1. Add 1 tablespoon butter to each pumpkin half, and season with salt and pepper. Add 1 tablespoon butter to onion, season with salt and pepper and wrap in aluminum foil. In a preheated 350-degree oven, roast onion and pumpkin, cut-side up, until completely soft and somewhat caramelized, about 45 minutes.
2. Scoop out cooked pumpkin and place in a food processor with onion, pulsing until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer pumpkin puree into a bowl, add half of the toasted pine nuts and stir to combine.
3. Cover wonton wrappers with a damp cloth. Assemble bowl of pumpkin puree, beaten egg, pastry brush and a sheet tray dusted with flour. Lay out 1 wonton wrapper and place a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin puree in the middle. Brush around the filling with beaten egg and cover with another wonton wrapper. Press edges. Place 20 raviolis on a sheet tray and put in freezer.
4. In a small sauce pot, add remaining butter and cook on medium heat until the butter bubbles and turns brown. Remove from heat and add tomatoes, sage and a squeeze of lemon. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Cook ravioli in salted boiling water until they float. Transfer ravioli to 4 warm bowls and drizzle with brown sage butter sauce. Top with remaining toasted pine nuts.
