And they turn out so delicious too.

How to make Easy Butternut Squash Ravioli:
The full, printable recipe is at the end of this post. You will need a Dutch oven or a large pot for this recipe.
- In a Dutch oven, combine the squash, ⅓ cup water, olive oil, and a scant ½ teaspoon salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and cook until squash is just tender and water has evaporated, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and rosemary and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl and mash the squash with a fork until mostly smooth. Stir in the prosciutto and cheese.
-
Wash out the pot and fill with a generous 2 quarts of water. Add 1 tablespoon of salt and bring to a simmer.
-
Set out a large wire rack and a small bowl of water. Lay 6 wonton wrappers on a dry work surface. Brush the edges with water, then drop 1 tablespoon of filling onto each wrapper. Working with 1 at a time, top each wrapper with another wrapper; press to seal completely. Transfer to a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, keeping the work surface dry.
How to make Rosemary Oil:
This is the topping you will drizzle over the butternut squash ravioli. It’s really good, but if you prefer to put another type of sauce like Alfredo or something else then that’s okay too.
-
Heat the oil and rosemary in a small skillet over low heat until the rosemary starts to sizzle. Remove from heat.
Drizzle with 2 teaspoons cooking water and 1 teaspoon of the rosemary oil.
Sprinkle with pepper and Parmesan cheese, and serve. These are so delicious. Enjoy!
