Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roast the butternut squash on a baking sheet
until tender, about 25 minutes. I remember overcooking it the first time around,
thinking it needed more time. It's essential to trust the process and the
specified timings.
2 Once the squash is cool enough to handle, mash it in a bowl with ricotta,
Parmesan, chopped sage, salt, and pepper. The first time I made this, I used a
food processor, but found that hand-mashing gave a better texture.
3 Place a teaspoon of the squash mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. Brush
the edges with egg wash, place another wrapper on top, and press to seal,
ensuring there are no air bubbles. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and
filling.
4 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for
about 2 minutes each, or until they float to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to
transfer them to a greased baking dish.
5 To make the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and
cook for a minute. Gradually whisk in milk, roasted garlic, nutmeg, salt, and
pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. It took me a few
tries to perfect the consistency. A common mistake is not simmering it long
enough, so patience is key here.
6 Pour the sauce over the cooked ravioli. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with
olive oil, then sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture and mozzarella over the top.
7 Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it rest for 5
minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh sage leaves.
