Roasted Butternut Squash Ravioli with Cream Sauce is a fall special that I make once a year when butternut squash is in season.
Now let me tell you, it did take me 3 hours to make this but the benefits will pay off. You can freeze them and pull them out for a quick meal or a special holiday occasion that everyone will be impressed on how good they taste.
There is no way around this but to set an afternoon aside and do the work. No store bought will come close to this delicious ravioli dish with a taste of fall.
Step 1: Peel your butternut squash and cut into cubes.
Step 2: Mix with all your seasons and place in the oven for about
30 minutes turning after 15 minutes.
Step 3: Once the dough has been made and the stuffing for the ravioli has cooled off. It’s time to roll out the ravioli.
Variations
You can make this stuffing for the ravioli with pumpkin instead or even sweet potatoes. There are many variations of raviolis to make but in the fall I tend to use what grows this time of year.
Ways to Serve
I served the roasted butternut squash ravioli with cream sauce with a nice salad of just greens. I use only vinegar and oil for the dressing. The roasted butternut squash ravioli with cream sauce is very rich and filling so I tend to make the sides light.
Tip
Roasted butternut squash ravioli with cream sauce is not a quick recipe to make. I make this recipe on a Sunday afternoon when I have more time and double the recipe. Then I have enough to freeze and I save some for one of my holiday dinner get together.

Butternut Squash Cream Sauce

Ravioli Dough
-
Thoroughly sift together all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and pinch of salt. On a clean surface, make a mountain out of flour mixture then make a deep well in center. Break the eggs into the well and add olive oil. Whisk eggs very gently with a fork, gradually incorporating flour from the sides of the well. When mixture becomes too thick to mix with a fork, begin kneading with your hands.
-
Knead dough for 8 to 12 minutes, until it is smooth and supple. Dust dough and work surface with semolina as needed to keep dough from becoming sticky. Wrap dough tightly in plastic and allow it to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
-
Cut dough into 4 sections. Roll out each piece of dough with a pasta machine or a rolling pin to desired thickness. Cut into your favorite style of noodle and stuff with your butternut squash filling to make ravioli. Bring water to a boil in a large pot, then add 4 teaspoons salt. Cook pasta until tender or until they float to the top. About 6 minutes depending on thickness. Drain immediately and toss with Butternut Squash Cream Sauce on top.
