"I was looking for something new to do with squash, and spent some time looking at different ravioli recipes. I finally took a little bit of this one and a little bit of that one, and came up with this. We really enjoyed the end result."

I loved this dish! I had a lot of trouble with the pasta aspect--first time I messed it up and added too much water, the second time I made as written, but the dough was not elastic enough to make pasta. Probably more my inability to make pasta than the recipe's fault! The filling, though, is to die for. I've made it twice now with leftover chicken and turkey, and used ravioli wrappers instead of the pasta. Truly delicious. I served it with a pumpkin sauce, which was also wonderful.
