1 pinch - 1 dash Ground Nutmeg

 Sauce

250 Butter

2-3 cloves Garlic

5 or 6 leaves Sage

1 cup White wine

These ingredients assume you're using a pasta machine, while it's possible to cook this dish by rolling the pasta by hand I'll cover why it's a lot of work in another recipe until then my advice is just roll thinner than you think, and keep at it, it's not easy at first but it gets easier and you'll get better.

  1. place 2 cups of flour in a bowl and make a well inside

  2. break the two eggs and add olive oil into the well

  3. begin whisking the eggs with a fork slowly very very slowly adding flour to the mixture

  4. once a dough begins forming begin kneeding by hand until smooth and elastic

  5. cover with plastic and place in the fridge to rest at least 20 min

  6. dice pumpkin and then microwave oven roast or steam(i microwave it’s easier) until soft

  7. mash the pumpkin and set aside to cool

  8. once pumpkin is cool add ricotta and clove salt and pepper then stir until smooth and blended

  9. remove the pasta from the fridge and portion into quarters or thirds

  10. roll through pasta machine getting gradually thinner until you’re on the thinnest setting using flour to prevent sticking

  11. once on the thinnest setting(almost see through) lay flat and add pumpkin heaps about 2-3 inches or 4-5 cm apart

  12. use a spray bottle wet pasta side with pumpkin before folding over removing all air from the soon to be ravioli.

  13. cut to individualise and place on a baking tray covered until ready to cook

  14. Repeat until all the pasta and pumpkin mix is used

  15. melt butter in a pan on very low heat while you’re heating the water to boil

  16. once butter is melted add garlic and and keep on low until garlic and sage are fragrant

  17. add the white wine and allow to reduce

  18. add the ravioli to the water, remove the sauce from the heat and as the ravioli will begin floating(about 30-60 seconds) immediately use a slotted spoon transfer ravioli to the sauce and stir through (sauce should lightly coat ravioli

  19. once all the ravioli is in the sauce , stir to coat then transfer to bowls and serve
