my favorite ravioli is a pumpkin pasta with pumpkin filling: Pasta: 2 and 1/3 cup all purpose flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup pumpkin, cooked and pureed, or canned salt and pepper to taste 1 tsp olive oil Put 2 cups flour in small bowl, making a well in the center. In another bowl, combine eggs, pumpkin, seasonings and oil. Add to flour and mix into a soft dough. Turn out and knead, adding additional flour as needed to keep it from sticking. Prepare as your desires and equipment direct. Pumpkin filling for ravioli: 1 TB garlic, minced 1 TB fresh ginger, minced 1/2 cup chopped onion 2 TB olive oil 1 cup pumpkin, cooked and pureed, or canned 1 egg 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese Saute garlic, ginger, onion in oil until tender. Combine with pumpkin, egg, and cheese. Chill slightly before filling ravioli. This pasta is terrific with a light alfredo sauce and a healthy garnish of prosciutto cut in ribbons.
