This recipe comes from the November 2007 issue of Cooking Light. I really enjoyed this dish, unfortunately the rest of the family did not. It really did taste like something you’d get at a restaurant, but maybe that’s because I wouldn’t normally cook this kind of dish. -s said it was good, but he would’ve liked the filling to have more punch, but he did really enjoy the sauce and said he’d definitely like the sauce again. I liked the clean flavors and simplicity of the dish. My only big complaint is that I followed the recipe exactly-only putting 2 tsp. of mixture in each ravioli, and while the recipe says you get 30 raviolis, I only got 23.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cups canned pumpkin
- 2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (I omitted because I used seasoned breadcrumbs)
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh sage
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 30 round wonton wrappers (I could only find egg roll wrappers so I just cut the egg roll wrapper in half)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup fat-free milk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts, toasted (I used walnuts)
Directions:
- Spoon pumpkin onto several layers of heavy-duty paper towels, and spread to 1/2-inch thickness. Cover with additional paper towels; let stand 5 minutes. Scrape into a medium bowl using a rubber spatula. Stir in breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, minced sage, pepper, and nutmeg.Working with 1 wonton wrapper at a time (cover remaining wrappers with a damp towel to keep from drying), spoon 2 teaspoons pumpkin mixture into the center of wrapper. Brush edges of wrapper with water and fold in half, pressing edges firmly with fingers to form a half-moon. Place on a large baking sheet sprinkled with cornstarch. Repeat procedure with remaining wonton wrappers and pumpkin mixture.
- Fill a large Dutch oven with water; bring to a simmer. Add half of ravioli to pan (cover remaining ravioli with a damp towel to keep from drying). Cook 4 minutes or until done (do not boil), stirring gently. Remove ravioli with a slotted spoon; lightly coat with cooking spray, and keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining ravioli.
- Combine milk and flour in a saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute or until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add butter, stirring until butter melts. Gently stir in Gorgonzola.
- Place 5 ravioli in each of 6 shallow bowls, and drizzle each serving with 3 tablespoons Gorgonzola mixture. Sprinkle each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons hazelnuts (I also sprinkled sage). Serve immediately.
