I’ve been waiting all September to share this recipe. I promised no pumpkin until October. And aside from that pumpkin cream cold brew, I really did mean it.
But, it’s now October, so bring on every last pumpkin recipe from now through November. I have so many ideas!!
This ravioli is the perfect way to welcome October and the official start to pumpkin season!
This pumpkin ravioli is easy – start with the ravioli
For the ravioli, you’ll need a good pumpkin and cheese ravioli. I recommend the Trader Joe’s pumpkin ravioli. They roast the pumpkin with a little honey and it’s such a delicious store-bought option!
Since we don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby, I opted to make my own ravioli. You can of course do this too. But if you want a super quick dinner, use the TJ pumpkin ravioli.
For my homemade ravioli, I made a pumpkin pasta dough. I then made a honey’d pumpkin filling with a mix of ricotta cheese, gouda, and a small amount of honey – to play up the sweetness. So delicious.
Either homemade or store-bought, the ravioli will be delicious. Do what works best for you!
Onto the sage butter sauce
I love a simple sage butter sauce in the fall, it’s so easy to make, and so delicious.
You’ll need butter, walnuts, fresh sage, and a splash of either apple cider or white wine. Cook the butter, walnuts, and sage together until the sage leaves are crispy and the walnuts are toasted.
I like to remove the sage leaves so they stay crisp, and then add the splash of cider or wine. I love how the cider pairs with the flavors of the pumpkin, but wine is great too.
Then simmer the brown butter sauce and toss in the ravioli. I like to let the ravioli sit in the sauce and really soak it up for a minute or so.
Now serve it up
Serve the ravioli and sauce with lots of fresh manchego cheese plus all those crispy sage leaves. Then enjoy!
It tastes every bit as delicious as it sounds.
If you’re using store-bought ravioli, or have homemade frozen ravioli in the freezer, this entire meal will come together in well under thirty minutes, making it perfect for any night of the week. Whether you need a quick weeknight meal, or just a fun Saturday dinner party dish, this recipe accommodates.
And with that, happy Monday, and happy October! Really hoping this recipe brings you guys some much-needed pumpkin goodness this week. A little cheesy, but also just how I am feeling. Livin’ up every minute of autumn!

Homemade Pumpkin Cheese Ravioli
Ingredients
Pumpkin Pasta
- 1 can (15 ounce) pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 5 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
Pumpkin Cheese Filling
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded gouda cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese, (optional)
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 egg yolk
- kosher salt and black pepper
Instructions
- 1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the pumpkin, eggs, flour, and salt. Using the dough hook, knead until the dough forms a ball, adding more flour as needed. Alternately, this can be mixed by hand. Cover and let rest 10-15 minutes.3. To make the filling. Combine all ingredients in a food processor until evenly mixed. Season with salt and pepper. 4. Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and cut into quarters. Roll the pasta dough into lasagna sheets. Place 2 teaspoons of filling one inch apart over half the pasta sheets. Brush around the filling with water to moisten and then fold the sheet over the filling, pressing down to seal. Cut into squares. Be sure to keep the ravioli covered as you work to prevent them from drying out. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Transfer the ravioli onto the prepared baking sheet. If not cooking right away, cover, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours or freeze. 5. Drop the ravioli into the boiling water and cook until al dente, 3-4 minutes. Drain.

Can you tell me how many “servings” to use if I am making for 8 people?
Hi Kelsey,
I would increase the serving size to 8. I hope you love this dish, please let me know if you have any other questions!
Thank you so much for sharing this was my first time making ravioli and it came out amazing and so easy to make and follow directions. I did notice that half of the filling was only enough for half of the pasta, so I’m saving the rest and I’m trying it with butternut next. Thank you again, my family loved it after a good gym session. Great Carb!
Hey Evelyn,
Wonderful! Your feedback means a lot, thanks for trying the recipe. Happy it delivered!
Oh wow , the pumpkin filling is to die for. I tried to print the sage and butter sauce for the top but I think the link is broken as it comes up with the ravioli recipe instead.
Thank you so much for this deliciousness!!!
Hey Tracey,
Happy Friday! Love to hear you enjoyed this recipe, thanks for making it and your comment!
Thanks for letting us know about the print issue!
Making tomorrow.
I hope you love the recipe, Lori!
Yum! I made the pumpkin cheese filling and the sage butter sauce with a different pasta dough recipe (because my kids didn’t want pumpkin dough), and it was delicious! I have just one “problem” – I have a lot of filling left, and I don’t want to waste it! Can you suggest a way for me to use the leftover pumpkin cheese filling? Thank you!
Hi Kristen,
Happy Monday!! I appreciate you trying this recipe and your feedback, so glad to hear it was enjoyed! I would make more ravioli and freeze them. XxT
I can only get the recipe for the ravioli themselves to save or print, but not the sauce recipe. The links for both the sauce and ravioli go to the ravioli only. I’m a big fan of printing recipes, is there a way to get the printable sauce recipe separately? Thank you!
Hi Chloe,
So sorry about that! We will look into this to see if we can get this fixed! Thanks for letting us know! xT
Delicious! I will definitely make this again. I didn’t have walnuts, so I used pine nuts instead. I loved it with the pine nuts. I think it would also be great with pecans. Additionally, I didn’t have fresh sage, so used 1 tsp of dried. I will use 1/2 tsp of dried sage instead. I used the Trader Joe’s pumpkin ravioli.
Hey Kelly,
Awesome! Love to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks for making it! Happy Sunday! x
I have made this multiple times. It is a fantastic, Impressive, flavor filled recipe! As other reviewers have mentioned, the recipe for the dough makes a huge amount. You can get a whole recipe of ravioli plus almost a whole pound of pumpkin pasta out of it. I made angel hair, dried it and used it later in the same recipe sans ravioli! If you don’t want that much pasta half the recipe and it’ll be perfect for the ravioli. I got about seven dozen ravioli out of half a recipe. Mine were 2“ x 2“.
I also like to crisp up some prosciutto in the oven and serve it over the finished pasta dish! Great flexible recipe!
Hey Julie,
Thanks so much for making this recipe so often and sharing your feedback! So glad to hear it is always enjoyed and I’m sure others will find your notes helpful! xT
This sounds delicious! Do you have a version of this that includes protein?
Hi Elizabeth! You could definitely add in some sausage or chicken! xT
Oops! Forgot to mention that the recipe for the raviolis themselves can’t be accessed once the recipe is saved. I had to keep coming back to your collection of recipes to get to the ravioli recipe. Thought you’d like to know.
So delicious! But it seems that the pasta recipe makes way more pasta than filling. I made raviolis over Thanksgiving using up all the filling, and still had pasta leftover which I froze and made more raviolis with today. And still more pasta leftover! Regardless, this is a delicious recipe.
Thank you for the feedback Brenda! xT
This pasta dough was just not right. I went light on the cup of pumpkin thinking it would run too wet, and it still needed about a cup more flour. After resting it had the consistency of bread dough, so needed even more flour and salt. It oozed and broke in the rollers and took a ton of laminating to make a usable pasta sheet. The filling was delicious. It’s probably just me, but it was not a successful recipe.
Hey Erin! I’m so sorry this recipe wasn’t a success for you! Thank you for letting me know! Anything else I can do to help? xT
Do you think the ravioli can be made ahead of time and frozen? I’ve made fresh ravioli before but have never tried freezing them.
Hi there! Yes, you could definitely freeze these!
You should really edit this to say that it’s a sauce, I’m looking to make the ravioli AND the sauce- not just a herbed, acidic butter sauce.
Hi there,
Both the sauce and the ravioli recipes are listed above:) Please let me know if I can help in any other way! xx
Agreed, this isn’t a pumpkin ravioli recipe if the pumpkin ravioli is pre packaged ):
She has recipes listed for the sauce, the filling, and the pasta!
I am going to make these tonight and freeze them to make on christmas afternoon, do you recommend throwing them in frozen or letting them come to fridge temper before putting them into the boiling water or?
Hi there,
You can add them frozen to the water:) Please let me know if you have any other questions! xx
Fast dinner if you have frozen raviolis, paired it with a side salad. Don’t skimp on the walnuts and fresh sage, those make it even more delicious! My kids even liked this.
Hey Stephany,
Happy Friday!!⛄️ Thanks so much for making this dish and sharing your review, so glad to hear it was a hit! xx
