Homemade butternut squash ravioli with a filling of roasted squash cubes, brown butter, ricotta, Parmigiano, and toasted cinnamon breadcrumbs — finished in a crispy sage brown butter sauce. A special-occasion pasta worth every minute.
Fresh pasta dough is one of those kitchen skills that sounds harder than it is and pays you back every time you use it. Flour, eggs, olive oil, salt — that’s the whole ingredient list. Ten minutes of kneading, thirty minutes of resting, and you have a smooth, silky dough that rolls into beautiful sheets and seals cleanly around whatever filling you put inside it. This is the companion recipe to the Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter Sauce, and the foundational pasta dough post for every filled pasta recipe on Recipe Remodeler. Learn it once and you’ll reach for it for the rest of your cooking life.
Some of our best weeknight dinners start with an empty spot in the freezer. We skipped the frozen vegetable bag this time and built this stir-fry from scratch — fresh broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, red pepper, celery, onion, and a handful of frozen peas — with a sauce made from six pantry staples we already had on the shelf. The result is deeply savory, glossy, and just a little spicy, with toasted sesame seeds and fresh green onion finishing it off. Better than takeout, on the table in 35 minutes, and easy enough for any weeknight.
