Ingredients

For the Pasta Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 10 fresh sage leaves
  • 4 slices bacon, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Pasta Dough:

  • In a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Pulse to mix.
  • Add the eggs and olive oil, and process until the dough forms a ball. If the dough is too dry, add water a teaspoon at a time; if too wet, add a bit more flour.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Make the Filling:

  • In a bowl, mix together the canned pumpkin, Parmesan cheese, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Roll Out and Fill the Ravioli:

  • Divide the rested dough into four pieces. Roll each piece out on a lightly floured surface until thin (about 1/16 inch).
  • Place small spoonfuls of filling about 1 inch apart on half of the rolled-out dough sheets. Brush the edges with water.
  • Place the other half of the dough sheets over the filling. Press around the filling to seal, ensuring there are no air pockets.
  • Cut the ravioli with a round dough cutter or a knife into squares. Place the ravioli on a floured baking sheet.

Cook the Ravioli:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Make the Sauce:

  • In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter is browned and the sage is crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the cooked bacon back to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently.

Combine and Serve:

  • Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the browned butter, sage, and bacon. Toss gently to coat.
  • Serve immediately with additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Pumpkin: Be sure to use canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, as it contains added sugar and spices.
  • Rolling the Dough: A rolling pin works perfectly fine if you don't have a pasta machine. Just ensure the dough is rolled out thinly and evenly.
  • Storing Ravioli: If you have leftovers, place the uncooked ravioli on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen, adding a minute or two to the cooking time.
  • Variations: Feel free to experiment with the filling by adding ricotta cheese or a dash of cinnamon for a sweeter twist.
