Tomato sage sauce:
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 2 tsp chopped fresh sage
- 1/4 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
Asian sauce:
- 8 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 slices ginger (1/4 inch each), smashed
- 4 tsp thinly sliced green onion
- 4 tsp sesame seed oil
Mushroom sauce:
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 cups white mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1/4 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
Preparation
- Heat squash, garlic and 1 cup water in a wide saucepot over medium-high heat. Cover and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, until squash is very soft. Drain in a colander. Return squash mixture to pot and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth.
- Place pot with squash over medium heat and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, so excess water can evaporate; set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Assemble ravioli: Place 1 tbsp mashed squash mixture in center of each wrapper. With wet fingers, moisten outer edge of each wrapper, then fold in half diagonally (corner to corner) and seal to form triangle. Cook stuffed wrappers for 3 to 4 minutes in boiling water. To serve, place 7 to 8 stuffed wrappers in a dish and top with one of three sauces.
