Ravioli is a classic Italian pasta dish that has been enjoyed for centuries. This recipe takes a unique twist on the traditional dish by filling the ravioli with a mixture of pumpkin, parmesan cheese, and amaretti cookies. The use of semolina flour in the pasta dough gives it a nutty flavour and a slightly rustic texture. The ravioli are then cooked in boiling water and served with a drizzle of clarified butter for added richness. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or dinner party, and is sure to impress your guests with its unique flavours.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and salt until well combined.
2.Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, and add in the eggs, olive oil, and warm water.
3.Using a fork, gradually mix the wet and dry ingredients together until a rough dough forms.
4.Knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5.Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
6.In a food processor, pulse the pumpkin, parmesan cheese, amaretti cookies, eggs, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg until a smooth paste forms.
7.Roll out the dough into thin sheets, and spoon the pumpkin filling onto one half of each sheet.
8.Fold over the other half of the dough to enclose the pumpkin filling.
9.Cut the ravioli into the desired shape, and pinch the edges together to seal.
10.In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the ravioli for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
11.Drain the ravioli, and serve hot with the clarified butter drizzled on top.
