Cuisine
Pumpkin Ravioli
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The culinary team at Estate House,
the SouthBridge dinner house in downtown Scottsdale,
celebrates autumn with a creative and inspired menu
incorporating the region’s best seasonal produce. “The
seasons have always defined our cooking here,” says
Executive Chef Gio Osso. “We all anticipate and welcome
the first pumpkins and are excited to offer our guests
the tastes of the fall.” Chef Osso shares an old,
Italian family recipe that his mother used to make
during the Halloween holiday. His recipe is an easy way
to turn a jack-o-lantern into a delicious, flavorful
dish.
Pumpkin Mascarpone Ravioli with
Brown Butter, Sage, Raisins, Pine Nuts and Pecorino
Gio Osso-Executive Chef Estate House
Ingredients
1 small pumpkin
½ cup of mascarpone cheese
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
¼ cup of honey
¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
½ cup of white wine
Salt and Pepper to taste
Fresh pasta sheets
(For the sauce)
1 stick of butter
¼ cup of pine nuts
¼ cup of raisins
1 sprig of sage leaves
¼ cup pecorino cheese, shaved
Preparation:
Split the pumpkin in half removing the seeds. In a
baking dish with a rack in it, place the pumpkin on the
rack. Pour the honey and wine over the pumpkin and
season with the dry ingredients. Place in a 325 degree
oven until pumpkin becomes fork tender. Remove from oven
and let cool.
Once pumpkin is cool, scoop out the flesh and put in a
bowl. Add mascarpone cheese and mix thoroughly adjusting
the seasoning with salt and pepper. Fill your pasta
sheets with the pumpkin mixture and make into ravioli.
These ravioli can be frozen for later use.
For the sauce, brown the butter in a sauté pan and add
the nuts, raisins and sage. While making the sauce, cook
the ravioli in heavily salted water until they float.
Strain ravioli and place in the sauce for the last 2-4
minutes of cooking to combine the flavors. Serve ravioli
with the shaved pecorino cheese on top. Bon Appétit!
