Ravioli Filled with Cheesy Pumpkin

Ingredients 0/12

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook them uncovered, stirring now and then, until they float to the top and the filling is heated through—this usually takes about 6 to 8 minutes. Once done, drain them well.

Step 2

While the ravioli cooks, melt the mascarpone cheese and butter together in a saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle in a pinch of black pepper, then stir in the milk, pumpkin, Pecorino Romano, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and a bit of nutmeg. Let the sauce come to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer it until it thickens nicely, which should take around 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

When the sauce is ready, toss the cooked ravioli gently in it to coat everything evenly. Give it a taste and add more salt and pepper if you think it needs it. Serve the ravioli topped with some toasted pine nuts for a little crunch.
