Pumpkin Ravioli*

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin purée
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for sprinkling
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
• Cayenne pepper to taste
• 18 round or square wonton wrappers
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup crème fraîche
• Reserved pasta water
• Shelled pumpkin seeds, toasted

Mash pumpkin purée, Parmesan and lemon zest in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne.

Arrange wonton wrappers on a work surface. Brush edges with lightly beaten egg.

Place 1 teaspoon filling on bottom half; fold top half over, gently pressing edges to seal.

Boil ravioli in salted water until just tender, about 3 minutes.

Melt butter with purèe fraîche in a sauté pan. Add 2 tablespoons of reserved pasta water or more if needed; add cooked ravioli and toss to coat.

Top with grated Parmesan and toasted pumpkin seeds.
