Step 1
Toss squash with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Spread on a sheet pan and roast at 400°F until tender and golden, 12 minutes.
Step 2
Mix roasted squash with ricotta, Parmesan, a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Lay out pasta sheets. Spoon filling onto one half of each sheet, leaving a 0.5-inch border all around.
Step 4
Fold pasta sheets in half and press edges firmly to seal. Trim into squares or rounds with a knife or pastry cutter.
Step 5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add tortelli and cook until they float plus 1 minute more, ~3 minutes total.
Step 6
Warm tomato sauce in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in butter and sage until fragrant, ~1 minute.
Step 7
Drain tortelli gently and add to sauce. Toss to coat. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan.
