This ravioli is made with wonton wrappers instead of pasta. These make an impressive presentation. Recipe from San Francisco Flavors from the Junior League of SF. Ingredients:
1 (1 1/2 lb) butternut squash, halved and seeded |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 large leek, white part only, halved lenghtwise and cut into 1/4-inch pieces |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley |
wonton wrapper (square) |
12 sage leaves |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F Brush the olive oil over the cut sides of the squash. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and place, cut-side down, in a glass baking dish. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until soft. Let cool. Scoop the squash out of the skin and puree in a blender or food processor until smooth.
2. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat and saute the leek until browned, about 7 minutes. Add the squash, cheese, and parsley and stir until just heated through.Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Place 1 tablespoon filling on a wonton wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with water, fold, and seal shut around the filling. Repeat until all the filling is used.
4. In a large pot of salted slowly boiling water, cook the ravioli until they float to the top, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to serving bowls.
5. While the ravioli are cooking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Brown the sage leaves in the butter for 3 to 4 minutes. Pour over the ravioli and serve at once.
