Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sage, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon thyme, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegan butter, for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pasta Dough: In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Gradually add water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Wrap in plastic and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Roast the Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced butternut squash with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender. Allow to cool slightly.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the roasted squash, minced garlic, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mash together until smooth.
- Roll Out the Dough: Divide the rested dough into four pieces. Roll out one piece at a time on a floured surface until thin. Cut into squares or circles.
- Fill the Ravioli: Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of each pasta square. Moisten the edges with water, fold over, and press to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli for about 3-4 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain gently.
- Serve: In a pan, melt vegan butter and toss the cooked ravioli in it. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
