**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups pumpkin puree
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 package of round ravioli wrappers
– 1 egg, beaten
– Fresh sage leaves for garnish
– Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
**Instructions:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Lay out the ravioli wrappers on a clean surface. Place a small dollop of the pumpkin and cheese mixture onto the center of each wrapper, leaving enough space around the edges to seal the ravioli.
3. Using a pastry brush or your finger, lightly brush the edges of the ravioli wrappers with the beaten egg. This will help seal the ravioli and prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
4. Carefully fold the ravioli in half, creating a half-moon shape, and press down on the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch, if desired.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully drop the ravioli into the water, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook the ravioli for about 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface and the pasta is cooked through.
6. Using a slotted spoon, remove the ravioli from the water and place them on a serving plate. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining ravioli.
7. In a separate pan, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook for a minute or two, until fragrant and crispy.
8. Drizzle the butter and sage mixture over the cooked ravioli. Sprinkle with additional grated Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve the Kurbis Ravioli hot, garnished with sage leaves and accompanied by a fresh green salad or crusty bread. This dish is a true celebration of the flavors of fall and is sure to be a hit with your loved ones. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of this delicious homemade meal, and revel in the joy of sharing good food with good company.
