Browned Butter Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage

Ingredients

Ravioli:

• 1 cup (450 g) mashed, cooked butternut squash

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 1 pinch cayenne pepper

• 1/2 cup (112 G) mascarpone cheese

• 1 egg yolk

• 1/3 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 package round dumpling wrappers

• Brown Butter Sauce:

• one 8 ounces (225 g) stick unsalted butter

• 2 tablespoons fresh sage, minced

• 1/2 cup (125 ml) heavy whipping cream

• 1/2 cup (125 ml) chicken stock

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

• 4 Tablespoons freshly grated parmesan please more for garnish

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

• 3-4 extra fresh sage leaves for garnish

Instructions

Make the ravioli:  In a medium bowl, combine the mashed butternut squash, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until blended.  Stir in the mascarpone cheese, egg yolk, and Parmesan cheese.  Mix until the filling is smoothly combined.

Place a dumpling wrapper onto a cutting board.  Wet the tip of a finger in water, and run it all along the outer edge of the wonton skin to moisten. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton. Fold the wonton in half to make a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining dumpling wrappers.  Cover with a damp paper towel.

Bring a large of water to a boil.

While water is coming to a boil, make the sauce:  Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.  Swirl to coat. Cook for 3-4 minutes until butter turns golden brown and brown specks appear at the bottom of the pan, stirring continuously (being careful not to burn). Allow cooling for two minutes.   Slowly pour the chicken broth whisking frequently until combined.  Whisk in the cream.  Add the lemon juice and parmesan cheese, whisking until completely combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Drop the reserve ravioli into the boiling water, a few at a time, and cook until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Drain the ravioli, and transfer them to the skillet and toss until they are evenly coated with sauce.

Garnish with sage leaves and more Parmesan cheese.
