Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed, cooked butternut squash

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese

  • 1 egg yolk

  • cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 (16 ounce) package round wonton wrappers

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 clove garlic, unpeeled

  • chopped fresh sage to taste

  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Directions

  1. Place cooked squash into a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir in mascarpone cheese, egg yolk, and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, mixing until the filling is smoothly combined.

  2. Place a wonton wrapper onto a working surface. 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 wonton wrappers.

  3. Place a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in butter and unpeeled clove of garlic. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil.

  4. Drop the filled raviolis into the boiling water, a few at a time, and cook until they float to the top, about 2 minutes. Drain the raviolis, and transfer them to the skillet. Turn the heat under the skillet up to medium-high, and cook just until the raviolis are infused with garlic flavor, about 2 or 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped sage, more black pepper, and extra Parmesan cheese to taste.
