Ingredients

For the Pasta Dough:

  • 1.1 lb. “00” flour
  • 8 oz. egg yolks
  • 2 whole eggs
  • .5 oz. salt
  • .5 oz. extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

For the Butternut Squash Filling:

  • 15 lbs. butternut squash, peeled and seeded
  • 4 lb. mozzarella cheese
  • 1.5 lb. parmesan cheese
  • 4 oz. sugar
  • 2 oz. minced parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Slice the peeled and seeded butternut squash into 1-inch pieces. Place it on a baking sheet, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  3. While the squash is baking, place all the ingredients for the pasta dough in a mixer. Knead with the hook attachment for 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic and let it rest for 30 minutes.
  5. Once the squash is cooled, place it in a food processor and puree well.
  6. Pour the squash into a large bowl with the mozzarella, parmesan, parsley, and sugar. Mix well.
  7. Roll out the pasta dough as thin as possible.
  8. Using a cookie cutter or upside-down glass, cut circles into the dough.
  9. Place a half-dollar sized dollop of the butternut squash filling onto the cut pasta circles.
  10. Fold the dough in half over the filling to form a half moon shape, then use a fork to gently press into the edges around the dough to seal it.
  11. Gently add the pasta to boiling water and let cook for 3-5 minutes.
  12. Remove from the water and serve with your favorite sauce.
