Pumpkin Filling:
- 1 1/2 cup pumpkin puree canned or homemade
- 3 oz. parmesan vegan
- 5 oz. cream cheese vegan
- 2 tbsp almond milk unsweetened
- 1 tsp nutmeg ground
- 1 tsp cinnamon ground
Ravioli Dough:
- 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp turmeric ground
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup water warm, adjust if needed
Creamy Sauce:
- 1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 3 1/2 tsp nutritional yeast optional
- pinch nutmeg
Prepare the filling:
In a blender, combine the pumpkin puree, vegan Parmesan, vegan cream cheese, almond milk, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth; transfer them into a piping bag. Let them sit in a refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Knead the dough:
In a large mixing bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, turmeric, vegetable oil, and kosher salt. Then add the warm water slowly to achieve the right consistency of the dough; then stir again until the dough forms. Knead for 7 minutes until smooth.
Simmer the creamy sauce:
Sauté the onion and garlic for 3 minutes, then add the broth and almond milk, nutritional yeast, and season with kosher salt and nutmeg. Simmer them until the sauce thickens.
It's time to make pumpkin ravioli:
Cut the dough into a circle using a cooking cutter, then scoop the prepared pumpkin filling and place it in the center of the dough.
Fold the dough using a fork or hand and make sure the filling won't come out. Just repeat the process with the remaining dough and pumpkin filling.
Cook them in boiling salt water for about 5 minutes, or until the ravioli float.
Serve them with the prepared pumpkin sauce and garnish with the fresh herbs you prefer.
Serving Suggestions
- This dish is best served immediately. If you're not serving all the ravioli at once, keep them covered with a damp paper towel or kitchen towel so they don't dry out. Pair this dish with a light salad and a glass of white wine for a delicious Fall meal.
Recipe Tips
- You can use wonton wrappers instead of homemade ones. Cut them into 3-inch squares or circles using a pastry cutter or knife.
- To prevent the ravioli from sticking together, dust them lightly with flour before boiling them.
- Don't overboil the ravioli or they will fall apart! Boil for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
Storing Tips
- Leftover ravioli can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, simply drop the frozen ravioli into boiling water for 1 minute or until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave by microwaving them on high for 1 minute.
