Ingredients
For
Ravioli
1 ½ lbs butternut squash
1 1/3 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
½ cup pine nuts, toasted
1 ¼ fresh lasagna sheets
1 egg, beaten
3 ¾ cups fresh chicken stock
Salt and ground black pepper
For
the sauce
¼ cup walnut pieces
5f ready-to-eat dried apricots, roughly chopped
2 sliced wholemeal bread
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
1/3 cup milk
Directions
1. Bake the squash on a baking tray for 45 minutes.
Cut them in half lengthways, remove the seeds and scoop
out the flesh. Put the flesh into a food processor with
the grated Parmesan cheese, half the parsley, the pine
nuts and seasoning, and blend to a rough puree.
2. Place the squash mixture into the centre of round
lasagna sheet about 1 teaspoon, then brush the edges
of each one with a little beaten egg. Place a second
round on top of each one, then pinch together the edges
to make ravioli. Transfer to a serving platter.
3. To make the sauce, place the walnuts, apricots, bread
and remaining parsley in a food processor and process
to fairly fine crumbs. Add the ricotta cheese and pulse
to mix. Spoon into a pan, add the milk, then heat gently,
stirring constantly until smooth. Pour the sauce into
a warmed serving jug.
4. Heat the stock in a fondue pot to boiling point,
and then place on a burner at the table. Served with
warm walnut sauce.
