Vegan Pumpkin Ravioli with Sage Butter

Makes about 30 pieces (serving size is 6-8 ravioli)

Ingredients

For the dough:

1.25 cup/5.3 oz/150 g flour
1.25 cup/5.3 oz/150 g semolina flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp turmeric (optional)
1 tbsp olive oil
2/3 cup/150 ml water

For the filling:

1.5 cups pumpkin puree
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup vegan cheese
2 tbsp ground walnuts or hazelnuts
1.5 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
salt, pepper

For the sage butter:

3 tbsp vegan butter
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
10-15 sage leaves
1/2 tsp chili flakes
salt, pepper

Instructions

For the dough mix together flour, semolina, salt, and turmeric in a bowl. Add water and oil, and mix together with a spoon. Then knead until a smooth dough forms.
Shape into a ball, wrap with plastic foil, and place in the fridge for one hour.
For the filling mix together pumpkin, nutritional yeast, cheese, walnuts, smoked paprika, chili, garlic, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Taste, and adjust spicing, if needed.
Lightly flour a work surface. Divide dough into smaller portions (so it’s easier to work with), then roll out as thinly as possible. Cut into long strips.
Place small dollops of filling on one sheet, leaving enough space between them to cut out the raviolis. Brush around the filling with water, then place the second sheet of pasta on top.
Press gently to seal, then stamp out the raviolis using a ravioli cutter. Set raviolis aside over a lightly floured surface, while you repeat the process with remaining pasta and filling.
Heat up butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Add garlic, sage leaves and chili, and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add ravioli, and cook for 2 minutes, or until they are floating to the top.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer ravioli into the sage butter. Toss ravioli with butter gently. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately.
