Pumpkin Ravioli (vegan)

For this recipe I combined some of the ravioli recipes I liked, I tried to make it a few different ways , but I feel like this version turned out the best. It's creamy, delicious, easy to make and just the perfect meal for fall!

For 2 big portions

Ingredients:

For the pasta dough

• 2 cups of flour

• 1 pinch of salt

• 1/2 cup of water

For the filling

• 1 1/2 cups of pumpkin pure (either canned or you can make your own by simply boiling and blending pumpkin)

• 4 tbsp of breadcrumbs

• 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast

• salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce

• 1 cup of cashews

• 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast

• juice of 1/2 lemon

• salt and pepper to taste

• a few tablespoons of water

Directions:

First make the dough for your ravioli. Combine the flour, salt and water in a bowl and knead it for 5 minutes until it's combined and it doesn't stick to your hands anymore. Set it aside and make the filling! Put the ingredients in a bowl and mix them with a spoon. Pour water in a large saucepan/ pot, add a pinch of salt and bring it to a boil.

To make your sauce combine the ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender and blend them until smooth. If you want the mixture to be runnier add some water or plant milk until you reach your desired consistency.

Cut the dough in 4 pieces and roll them out separately. You want them to be really thin, around 1 mm. Place 1 teaspoon servings of the filling on the dough, leaving at least 2 cm between them on each side. When you've covered 1/4 of your dough with little spoonfuls of filling grab a cup of water and gently wet the surface of the dough between the piles of filling. Place 1/4 of your dough on top and gently press If you haven't made ravioli before check out this video, they do a much better job in making the process understandable than me. After you have closed the little ravioli pockets cut them and seal the edges using either your fingers or a fork. Cook them for 2-5 minutes in boiling water, then plate them up with the sauce, and maybe additional salt, pepper and nutritional yeast on top.
