Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan forced). Line a large baking tray with foil.
  2. 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.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the ravioli to pack instructions. Drain, reserving 60ml of the cooking water.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
