Make the Filling

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the pumpkin(s) in half and remove the strings and seeds. Place cut side down on the parchment paper and roast until tender when pierced with the tip of a knife (45– 50 minutes). Let cool, then scrape the flesh from the peel. Measure the amount you will need for the recipe; transfer to a food processor and process until smooth. The rest can be frozen for future use.
3. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, cheese, nutmeg and sea salt. Incorporate sufficient bread crumbs to bind the ingredients into a cohesive mixture. Cover and set aside.

Make the clarified butter.

1. In a small skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Skim off and discard the solids as they rise to the surface when the butter stops sizzling. Be careful not to let it get too dark; it should be golden in colour. Pass the clarified butter through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a coffee filter to extract any remaining solids.
2. Return the clarified butter to the skillet and add the sage leaves. Gently heat until the butter is saturated with the flavour of the sage (3 to 4 minutes). Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.

Make the Ravioli

1. Using a pasta machine or a floured rolling pin, roll out the pasta dough 1/32 inch thick (#6 on the Kitchen Aid pasta roller). Cut into sections approximately 5” wide and 10” long. Fold the pasta lengthwise to mark the centre. For square ravioli, place one tablespoon of filling in each of four equally spaced locations down one side of the piece of pasta. Using a small pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the sections of pasta around the filling with water. Fold the pasta over on itself, press gently and cut the ravioli into four pieces using a pastry wheel. You can make eight triangles by placing offset spoons of pasta on both sides of one piece of pasta and covering it with another.
2. Meanwhile, in a large, shallow skillet, bring 2” of salted water to a rapid boil. Gently drop about half of the ravioli and cover the skillet until it returns to a boil. . Uncover and cook, nudging the ravioli gently from time to time; reduce the heat as needed to prevent the ravioli from knocking against one another and breaking. (3–5 minutes total). Repeat with the remaining ravioli.
3. Transfer the ravioli to a warmed, large serving bowl with the aid of a large slotted spoon. Allow a little water to cling to the pasta, so they remain moist. Drizzle some sage butter over the ravioli, sprinkle with the pine nuts and serve immediately.
