Butternut Squash Ravioli
What it is
These are pre-made pasta pockets filled with a sweet and savory butternut squash mixture. The pasta dough is typically made from flour and eggs, creating a tender casing. The filling combines roasted butternut squash with seasonings like nutmeg and sometimes a touch of cheese for depth. They offer a convenient way to enjoy a flavorful pasta dish without making ravioli from scratch.

To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the ravioli, ensuring they do not stick together. Cook for the time indicated on the package, usually just a few minutes, until they float to the surface and the pasta is tender. Drain them carefully. They are best served immediately with your favorite sauce, such as a simple butter and sage sauce, a light cream sauce, or even a marinara.
