Method
 

Instructions
  1. Make the Pumpkin Filling: Combine pumpkin puree, ricotta, Parmesan, egg yolk, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
  2. Make the Pasta Dough: Combine flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap and rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the pasta dough thinly. Cut out circles using a 2-inch cookie cutter.
  4. Assemble the Ravioli: Place a teaspoon of filling on each circle, fold over to create a half-moon, and crimp the edges with a fork.
  5. Make the Pecan Crumble: Combine pecans, brown sugar, flour, and melted butter. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Make the Brown Butter Sage Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until light brown and nutty. Stir in sage and season.
  7. Cook the Ravioli: Boil salted water, add ravioli, and cook for 3-4 minutes until they float to the surface.
  8. Serve: Drain ravioli, toss with brown butter sage sauce, top with pecan crumble, and serve immediately.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use whole wheat flour in the pasta dough. You can also add other spices to the filling, such as ginger or allspice.
