Roast Pumpkin Agnolotti is a comforting fall-inspired pasta dish made with roasted pumpkin, creamy ricotta, nutmeg, and parmesan, wrapped in fresh pasta and topped with a nutty sage brown butter sauce and balsamic glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 700g pumpkin, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 80g ricotta
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp tomato paste
  • 30g parmesan, finely grated
  • 2 big pinches of salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 250g pumpkin, sliced (for plating)
  • 200g unsalted butter, cubed
  • 15-20 fresh sage leaves
  • Balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
  • Homemade pasta dough (for agnolotti)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed pumpkin with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20–25 minutes until lightly charred and soft.
  2. Allow the roasted pumpkin to cool slightly. Blend with ricotta, nutmeg, brown sugar, tomato paste, parmesan, salt, and pepper until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate.
  3. Roll out the homemade pasta dough thinly. Cut into rectangles. Pipe filling along one edge, fold over, press to seal, and cut into agnolotti shapes.
  4. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook agnolotti for 4–5 minutes or until they float.
  5. In a pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves and cook until butter is golden brown and sage is crisp, about 3–5 minutes.
  6. Plate roasted pumpkin slices, top with agnolotti, drizzle with sage butter, and finish with balsamic glaze and grated parmesan.

Notes

  • Make agnolotti ahead and freeze; cook from frozen with an extra minute in boiling water.
  • Don’t overfill the pasta to prevent leaks or cracking during cooking.
  • Heat plates before serving to keep pasta warm longer.
  • Substitute butternut squash or sweet potato if pumpkin is unavailable.
  • Use gluten-free flour and vegan ricotta for dietary alternatives.
