CHEESE TORTELLINI WITH SQUASH

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 450˚ F. Toss the squash, mushrooms, olive oil and a big pinch each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread out on the hot baking sheet and roast, tossing once or twice, until the vegetables are browned around the edges and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Combine the heavy cream, garlic, sage and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until reduced by about one-third, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 teaspoon lemon juice; add more lemon juice to taste.
• Add the tortellini to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain (reserve the pot).
• Strain the cream mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the reserved pot. Add the tortellini and 1/2 cup reserved cooking water; toss over medium heat until coated, adding a few more tablespoons cooking water as needed to loosen.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH TORTELLINI WITH BROWN BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the tortellini, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a foil-lined baking sheet toss together the butternut squash, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, herbs de Provence, salt, and pepper. Bake in the oven until soft and golden, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Cook the shallots and garlic until lightly golden, about 3 minutes.

Gently fold the square wrapper into a triangle, making sure the edges are securely closed and there are no air pockets inside. Dampen the two bottom corners of the longest side of the triangle and gently bring them together, pressing lightly to secure. Place the formed tortellini on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Before laying out another 6 wonton sheets, be careful to dry the work surface. This will help keep tortellini from sticking to the baking sheet. Continue until all the butternut squash mixture is used. There should be approximately 36 tortellini. (The tortellini can be formed, frozen on the baking sheet, transferred to a tightly sealed plastic bag or container and stored for up to six months. To cook, simply toss the frozen ravioli into the salted boiling water and cook for 4 minutes.)
