PORTOBELLO PUMPKIN RAVIOLI WITH SAGE AND WALNUT PESTO [VEGAN]

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE PUMPKIN PASTA:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup pumpkin purée
• 2 tablespoons water

FOR THE PORTOBELLO FILLING:

• 5 ounces baby Portobello mushrooms
• 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
• 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

FOR THE SAGE WALNUT PESTO:

• 1 1/2 ounces sage leaves
• 1 cup spinach
• 1/4 cup walnut pieces
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt

PREPARATION

TO MAKE THE PASTA DOUGH:

1. Combine flour and salt in a bowl, make a well in the middle, and add pumpkin purée and water.
2. Mix with a fork until just combined, then knead dough on a table/countertop for a full five minutes, until homogenous.
3. Wrap dough in a log in a damp kitchen towel and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
4. While the dough is resting, start your mushrooms. Heat olive oil, salt, and rosemary in a pan over medium heat.
5. Finely chop all mushrooms into very small chunks and add to pan. Cook, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes and remove from heat.

TO MAKE THE PESTO:

1. Pulse together ingredients until chunky. If you want a smoother, more traditional pesto, add 1 cup more spinach and add olive oil a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

TO MAKE THE RAVIOLI:

1. Return to your pasta dough: on a well-floured surface, roll out your dough to about 1/4-1/8-inch thick. Transfer to parchment paper and make light indents with your ravioli stamp that cover half of the dough.
2. Using a small spoon or your hands, fill each indent with mushroom filling.
3. Gently fold over the remaining dough and use your fingers to seal the two pieces of dough around each mound of filling.
4. Using your ravioli stamp, stamp through the dough to produce the ravioli. Repeat until you have used up all your dough and filling.
5. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook ravioli six at a time (in four batches), removing with a slotted spoon once the ravioli is cooked (when it floats to the top) and transferring to a sieve.
6. Serve with pesto.
