Ingredients

  • Butternut squash - 250 grams
  • Almond flour - 150 grams
  • Egg - 1 large
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic - 1 clove, minced
  • Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
  • Fresh dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Vegetable broth - 250 ml

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Cut the butternut squash in half, remove the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
  3. Once roasted, scoop out the flesh of the butternut squash and mash it in a bowl. Mix in the minced garlic, crumbled feta cheese, chopped dill, salt, and pepper.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, egg, and olive oil to form a dough. Knead until smooth and pliable.
  5. Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll out each part between two sheets of parchment paper into thin sheets.
  6. Using a small spoon, place dollops of the butternut squash mixture onto one sheet of dough, leaving space between each dollop.
  7. Carefully place another sheet of dough over the filled sheet and press down around each filling to seal.
  8. Cut out individual ravioli using a knife or a ravioli cutter, ensuring the edges are well sealed.
  9. Bring vegetable broth to a gentle simmer in a pot. Cook the ravioli in the broth for about 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
  10. Serve warm, drizzled with a little more olive oil and garnished with fresh dill.
