1/2-3/4 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup finely grated gruyere cheese or 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour, pre-sifted
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Steam squash until easily pierced with a fork.
  • Mash squash, and add spices, cheese and salt and pepper.
  • Cool, and prepare dough.
  • For dough: Mix flour and salt together.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the cilantro, eggs, and 1/4 cup water.
  • In a food processor, pulse cilantro mixture until the cilantro is fine.
  • Add flour mixture gradually until well mixed.
  • Add water if necessary to obtain a stiff dough.

  • Knead again, and roll dough into a thin sheet, approximately 1/8 inch.
  • Cut out an even number of circles in the dough.

  • Pinch edges together, and leave ravioli dry for about 2 hours, and refrigerate until needed.
