Butternut squash raviolo, rosemary and Parmesan cream sauce

Recipe
Joanna Page attempted to show that making homemade pasta is easier than you’d think. This showstopper pasta dish from chef Michael Caines is guaranteed to impress guests at a dinner party. If you don’t have a pasta machine, you can use a rolling pin instead. Just make sure to roll out the dough as thinly as you can.

Fred Sirieix says M&S Collection Gavi di Gavi has bags of citrus and stone fruit flavours and is the perfect match with Michael Caines’ recipe. The wine is made by father and son team, Claudio and Carlo Manera from fruit grown in various estates around the town of Gavi in Piemonte, Italy, using sustainable viticulture practices.

Method

Hide images
step 1
First make the raviolo filling. Preheat the oven to 210°C/190°C fan. Place the squash (1) on a baking tray and drizzle with the oil (1 tbsp). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 20 minutes until tender and golden brown at the edges. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
step 2
Blend the squash to a purée in a food processor. Add the butter (30 g), egg yolk (1), parmesan (75 g), double cream (50 ml) and blend again. Check the seasoning. Scrape the mixture into a piping bag and chill until needed.
step 3
Now make the pasta dough. Put 2 tbsp boiling water in a small bowl along with the saffron (1 pinch) and oil (1 tbsp). Leave to cool.
step 4
Put the flour (250 g) and 1 tsp salt in a food processor. Mix the whole egg (1) and yolks (3) with the cooled saffron mixture. With the food processor running, slowly add enough of the liquid to the flour until it comes together as a ball – it shouldn’t be too dry or too wet.
step 5
Knead the dough on a work surface for 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in clingfilm and leave to rest for at least 10 minutes, or chill overnight if you like.
step 6
Divide the pasta dough into 4 pieces. Using the thickest setting on your pasta machine, run through one piece of dough (rewrap the rest of the dough to stop them from drying out). Fold one side over, then the other and run it through the machine again. Repeat three times. Now start to reduce the thickness, by clicking the notches after each single roll. Stop when you are at the second to last notch. Lightly dust the work top with semolina (as needed) and lay out the sheets, covering with clingfilm to keep them from drying out.
step 7
Take one sheet and pipe 4 x 2 tbsp of filling into domes along the centre about 8cm apart. Brush around the filling with egg yolk (1) lay another sheet on top, carefully sealing around the mixture to ensure there are no air bubbles. Repeat. You should have 8 ravioli in total. Use a 6cm round cutter, press out the raviolos and place on a tray, sprinkled with semolina flour.
step 8
Now make the sauce and finishing touches. Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Place the pine nuts (40 g) on a small baking tray and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.
step 9
Arrange the bacon (8 slices) on a baking tray, cover with another tray so they are pressed down and cook in the oven for 5 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside.
step 10
In a large frying pan, heat the cream (250 ml), garlic (1 clove), thyme (2 sprigs) and rosemary (2 sprigs) and nutmeg (1 pinch). Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Pass the cream through a sieve, then return to the pan with half of the parmesan (50 g). Add half the parsley (25 g), the lemon juice and zest (1), and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Keep warm (or reheat) while you cook the pasta.
step 11
When you are ready to eat, bring a very large pan of water to the boil, then add 2 tbsp salt. Add the ravioli. Reduce to a simmer and when they float to the top, give them another 1-2 minutes cooking time. Carefully scoop out with a small sieve or slotted spoon. Add them to the sauce - if the cream sauce has thickened, use a splash of the hot pasta water to thin it out first.
step 12
Spoon 2 ravioli each among four bowls. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil (1 tbsp) and sprinkle with the remaining parsley and parmesan. Top with the crispy bacon, toasted pine nuts, and some freshly ground black pepper.
