Ingredients:

2 cloves

Garlic (minced)

1 tsp

Chili Powder

1 cup

Pine Nut

1 large

Egg

Directions:

1

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat

2

Add the garlic and heat it for a couple of minutes (don't brown it)

3

Add the pumpkin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the chili powder

4

Cook this filling for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, to warm it and cook off some of the excess liquid

5

Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly while you get the other components ready

6

Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing and stirring occasionally, until golden

7

Remove them to a plate and set aside

8

Next, make browned butter: In the same small skillet, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat; let it cook and bubble up for an additional minute or so, until the foam is golden brown

9

Watch it carefully and take the pan off the heat as soon as it's ready

10

Finally, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon cold water

11

Now you're ready for Operation Ravioli

12

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil

13

Lay out a few wonton wrappers at a time and spoon about 2 teaspoons of the pumpkin mixture in the middle of each one

14

Then, one at a time, dab your finger into the egg wash mixture and "paint" around the pumpkin on the wrapper

15

Lay a second wonton wrapper on top of each one, match up the edges and press the two wrappers together, gently pressing out any air bubbles as you go

16

To seal the ravioli, use a knife or square cutter to neatly trim the edges

17

Set them aside while you work on the rest

18

Drop a few ravioli at a time into the boiling water

19

Boil them for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and place on a platter or serving plates

20

Spoon a little bit of the browned butter over the ravioli, then sprinkle on the parmesan shavings, sage, toasted pine nuts and a little pepper
