Ingredient List
- 200g Kent pumpkin, peeled, deseeded and cut into 4cm cubes
- 1 small leek, white section only cut into 2cm thick slices
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and bruised
- Sea salt, for seasoning
- Freshly cracked black pepper, for seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or any high smoke point oil
- 325g pack 25° South™ Australian Prosciutto and Ricotta Ravioli
- 60ml thickened cream
- 1 tablespoon grated Pecorino Romano
- 12 basil leaves, to serve
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan forced). Line a large baking tray with foil.
- Add the pumpkin, leek and garlic to a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then drizzle with the oil and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer in the tray and roast for 20 minutes, turning the vegetables after 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the ravioli to pack instructions. Drain, reserving 60ml of the cooking water.
- In a blender, add the roasted vegetables, cream, Pecorino and half the reserved cooking water. Blend until smooth and silky, adding a little more pasta water if needed, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently toss the cooked ravioli in the pumpkin sauce, then divide between 2 plates. Garnish with fresh basil leaves to serve.
Tips
- Cut the pumpkin and leek into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate and achieve a consistent texture.
- Add fresh basil just before serving to keep its vibrant flavor and colour, enhancing both the taste and presentation of the dish.
