Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place the peeled and diced pumpkin on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and slightly caramelized. Remove and let it cool slightly.
1. On a clean surface or in a large bowl, create a mound of flour with a well in the center.
2. Crack the eggs into the well.
3. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough begins to form.
4. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
1. In a pan over medium heat, add a small amount of olive oil.
2. Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. In a large bowl, combine the roasted pumpkin, wilted spinach, and ricotta cheese. Mix well.
4. Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
1. Divide the rested dough into 4 portions. On a floured surface, roll out each portion into thin sheets.
2. Place small spoonfuls of the filling onto one sheet of dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
3. Lay another sheet of dough over the filling mounds.
4. Press down around each mound to remove any air pockets and seal the edges. Cut out the ravioli using a knife, ravioli cutter, or a cookie cutter.
5. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Gently drop the ravioli into the boiling water in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
3. Cook the ravioli for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the dough is tender.
4. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.
- Serve the ravioli hot with your favorite sauce or a simple drizzle of olive oil and grated Parmesan cheese.
Tips:
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin enhances its natural sweetness and adds a depth of flavor to the ravioli filling.
- Drain the ricotta: Ensure the ricotta is well-drained to avoid a watery filling. You can do this by placing it in a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl for about 30 minutes.
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach will provide a more vibrant flavor and color. Blanch the spinach quickly in boiling water and then immediately transfer it to ice water to maintain its green color.
- Work the dough: Knead the pasta dough until it's smooth and elastic. This will ensure that your ravioli has the perfect texture.
- Seal the ravioli properly: To avoid the filling oozing out during cooking, make sure to press out any air bubbles and seal the edges tightly.
