Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix butternut squash, ricotta, half the Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl until combined.

  2. Step 2

    Cut pasta sheets into 3-inch squares. Spoon filling onto one half, fold to form a triangle, then curl edges gently to seal.

  3. Step 3

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortelli and cook until they float and hold for 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sage leaves and cook until fragrant and butter turns golden brown, ~3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Drain tortelli and transfer to the skillet with sage butter. Toss gently to coat.

  6. Step 6

    Plate tortelli, drizzle with sage butter, squeeze lemon over top, and finish with remaining Parmesan.
