Pumpkin Ravioli Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• For pasta: Combine flours and 1/2 teaspoon salt in processor. Add 4 eggs, 2 tablespoons olive oil and water and blend until dough comes together, about 20 seconds. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 3 minutes. Wrap in plastic. Let stand 15 minutes.
• For filling: Blend next 7 ingredients in processor. Set mixture aside.
• To assemble: Cut dough into 6 pieces. Flatten 1 piece of dough (keep remainder covered to prevent drying), then fold into thirds. Turn pasta machine to widest setting and run dough through. Repeat until dough is smooth and velvety, folding before each run and dusting with flour if sticky. Adjust pasta machine to next narrower setting. Run dough through without folding. Repeat, narrowing rollers after each run until pasta is about 1/16 inch thick, dusting with flour if sticky. Repeat with another piece of dough. Lay 1 dough sheet on lightly floured surface. Mound level teaspoons of filling at 2-inch intervals, leaving 1/2-inch border along edges. Brush dough between filling and along edges with water. Top with second sheet, pressing around filling to seal. Trim around filling using pastry cutter to create ravioli. Arrange ravioli on lightly floured waxed paper. Repeat with remaining dough. Let ravioli dry until leathery around edges.
• (Can be prepared 1 day ahead and refrigerated.).
• Stir 2 tablespoons olive oil into large pot of boiling salted water. Add ravioli (in batches if necessary) and cook until just tender but firm to bite, about 8 minutes. Drain well.
• Transfer to bowl. Add butter and toss well. Divide among 8 plates. Sprinkle each with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Top with freshly ground pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place pumpkin on pan, cut sides up, drizzle with olive oil and generously season with brown sugar, salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 45 minutes, or until soft. Allow to cool slightly.
• Scoop out the flesh of the pumpkin into the bowl of a food processor. Add egg and nutmeg, and purée until smooth. You should have about 3 cups (1 ½ pounds) purée total. Set aside 1/3 cup pumpkin purée for the sauce.
• Dust a work surface with semolina flour. Lay out a sheet of pasta, then place 2 teaspoons of filling every few inches. Brush around the filling with water, then place a second pasta sheet over the top. Press the top sheet of pasta down around the mounds of filling. Cut 2 ½-inch square ravioli with a large ravioli stamp or sharp knife, trimming as needed, and crimp around the edges with a fork to seal individual raviolis.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil and season generously with salt. Drop in ravioli a few at a time and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until soft but still al dente. Set aside ¼ cup pasta cooking water, then use a large slotted spoon to remove the cooked ravioli to a plate.
• Make the sauce: Heat the butter, sage and walnuts in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter browns, about 5 minutes. Add the reserved 1/3 cup pumpkin filling, a few grinds of nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine and sizzling, then add 2 tablespoons reserved pasta cooking water, stirring until sauce is glossy and smooth; thin with additional pasta water if desired. Spoon sauce onto plates and top with ravioli and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
