Miso Squash Ravioli in Mushroom Broth and a KitchenAid Giveaway | bettysliu.comI’ve made pasta from scratch a few times – but always with a friend who had more experience in these matters. I felt irrationally worried about getting the consistency right, or rolling the dough out and shaping it in all these complex shapes. Once I got into it, though, I realized…. it’s not that different from making noodles from scratch!!! After that, rolling discs of dough through the automated pasta attachment was just easy. So easy. Have you tried it? I have a countertop mechanical pasta roller I used with my friends before, but it gets complicated because you have to make sure it’s firmly attached to the surface, and then manipulating the machine and the dough with just your two hands can get complicated. The pasta attachment is fun. Literally, the dough is fed into the machine and the width is adjusted progressively thinner, until you get your thickness. I put the pasta attachment in my kitchen drawer, because I know I’m going to use it again soon (tagliatelle!!!)

This ravioli is a rustic, comforting dish. Instead of a cream sauce or pesto or anything more conventional, I brewed a rich mushroom broth, full of umami flavors, something I’d drink alone. The ravioli is stuffed and already flavorful from the miso squash mix, and when it sits inside warm, rich broth? It’s the pasta dish I want all winter. Not too heavy or creamy, but comforting nevertheless.

I’d been using squash in pasta already, but there was one that I wanted to try, and in order to do so I definitely had to make pasta – squash stuffed ravioli. I’ve had this comforting recipe in swirling in my head for awhile, a rustic, warm, full of umami dish that is perfect for a cold snowy day. Squash is pureed with a touch of miso and ricotta, stuffed in egg pasta dough, and then plated with herbs. The finishing touch is hot, steamy umami-packed mushroom broth, delicious enough to drink on its own, poured over the ravioli so that they are swimming in a light sea of mushroom broth. It’s not fancy. It’s not gourmet, but it’s delicious and full of complex flavors.

Everything can be prepared beforehand, so it’s a great option for parties! To see the full recipe, head on over to The Kitchenthusiast!!!

  1. I love to make pasta and I have a lots of porcini to cook 🙂
    thank you betty probably Italy is not included in your giveaway but I wanted to try !

  2. These photos are absolutely gorgeous and what an adorable stand mixer! I’d probably make a straightforward tagliatelle to go with my bologenese sauce!

  3. Ravioli! I’d like to try and make this dish, but I’m also weak to pesto so I’d probably end up making both!

  4. Omg! I would make a combination of recipes. Your squash tagliatelle with my mom’s caramelized onions and pecans blue cheese sauce. It’s would be spectacular to share this dish with my family during winter break!

  5. This mixer is on my wishlist! And my first homemade pasta dish would definitely be a roasted beet + goat cheese ravioli with fresh thyme… mmm.

  6. Since winter is here i’d love to make a hot soupy pasta with chicken adding a twist to the old tradition

  7. I’d be totally happy if I could get good at making the most basic pasta noodles. And then I’d eat them with my favorite Malaysian ‘pan mee’ toppings of minced meat, mushroom, and crispy anchovies. I often dream about it! 😀

  8. My two year old daughter and I have just recently made our first pasta together. She helped me roll out the dough, but I found it so hard to use our handheld pasta maker that the results were not so pretty and was a lot of work. This kitchenaid/attachment looks like it would make it a lot easier and a lot more fun! We’d try to make her favorite again, fettuccine with pesto, but these ravioli look amaaaazing

  9. This recipe for ravioli looks a-mazing! I’d make ravioli in a fast minute. First up a classic pumpkin with sage butter (your dough looks so tender and translucent!)… And, your photography work highlights the beauty of the food, it’s stunning!

  10. Wow! I’ve always wanted to make beet pasta ravioli because it’s so pretty,at every just filled with ricotta. Yours is so beautiful.

  11. Beautiful photos. I’d love to make tortellini! I’m thinking an autumn dish with brown butter, sage and squash. Thank you for the chance to enter!

  12. I’ve always wanted to make my own pasta! I’d probably make Ravioli first, then maybe some fettuccine with pumpkin cream sauce and fried sage. One of my favorites and would probably be much better with homemade pasta.

  13. I’ve always wanted to make pasta, but always been too chicken!! I finally overcame my fear of making bread, so I think it’s time to try pasta 🙈 I’d try out this recipe, because it looks amazing!

  14. Thank you so much for this wonderful giveaway!
    My mom would love this recipe, totally going to share this with her!

  15. I would really love this artisan mixer as I just moved to a new place with less counter space than I had before. This would really help me a lot. The pasta I would make would be stuffed ravioli.

  16. All the pastas! I have a countertop pasta maker and it’s just like you said a bit odd and more than two hands are needed. Maybe i’ll try ravioli first.

  17. I would love to try out this ravioli! We typically only ever make noodles from homemade pasta because we can’t get it flat enough on our own to try anything else. This tool would change that for sure!

  18. pear and cheese filled ravioli with a simple cream sauce is to die for! That’d definitely be what I’d try first.

  19. Hi, thanks for the giveaway I would love love love to try one of the recipe from this blog with this mixer, starting with egg yolk ravioli !

  20. The photographs are absolutely stunning Betty! Can’t wait to try this one out. My most recent success was your green onion challah x Molly Yeh. Beautiful to see these fusion creations

  21. Id like to try my hand at black bean and brown rice pasta (gluten free) I cook for very persnickety children (and a man child 😉 having the option to make whole food dishes with such ease is a mother’s dream come true ✨

  22. Since I am in culinary school , I would keep practicing how to make ravioli, lasagna, fettuccine, etc! This is amazing, you inspire me love everything you put out for us! 😉

  23. I’d make carbonara, pumpkin sage ravioli, linguini, lasasagna, all of it! My partner is Italian and we love to make pasta together- I’ve dreamed of owning a kitchenaid with pasta attachment for just this reason!!!

  24. Beautiful blog! Can’t wait to try these ravioli out! I’ve been into homemade pasta recently but excited to try and tackle filled pastas next!

  25. Our new favorite recipe is for Lamb Ravioli with Rosemary Cream sauce! We swooned over it and will make more and freeze some to have on hand!

  26. Vegan lasagna for sure! layered with cashew ricotta cheese, eggplant, tomato pure, mushrooms and topped with fresh basil from my mothers garden, yummy yummy in my veggie loving tummy. Can’t wait!!!

  27. I’d totally make ravioli. We used to get together with friends and make huge batches of ravs. We’d talk, drink, and crank out pasta, then later eat to contentment. We need to continue the tradition!

  28. I’ve always wanted to make ravioli on my own. Squash ravioli sounds like heaven on a summer day to me. 🙂

  29. We’re gonna get our very first family cow this Spring and I would love to turn some of it’s milk into ricotta and make ravioli out of it! With some fresh spinach and a sage butter.. Yum!

  30. Your work is so stunning Betty Liu. I would love to try and make tortelloni en brodo since I have never made that! Also spinach lasagna with a béchamel sauce with beef bolognese would be super fun to try.

  31. Gorgeous photos, how could I not want to make this now. I’ve tried making fettuccine with an old manual pasta maker a while ago and it was fun. Nothing beats fresh pasta. I’d love to make ravioli with fresh sage from the garden.

  32. I’ve never actually thought about making pasta before, but the recipe this contest is tied to looks like something I would like to try.. So.. the pasta you’ve made here looks like a good first try. 😀

  33. I have SO many pastas that I’ve been wanting to attempt to make! Ravioli! Fettuccini! Lasagna! Ramen? Why not? There’s nothing like fresh pasta. My maiden name is Acosta and my family loves pasta. In HS, my nickname was “Acosta Pasta,” and they would sing “Acosta Pasta, Acosta Pasta, throw your meatballs at me!” Softball team. Haha.

  34. Raviolis.. I’m thinking butternut squash with toasted walnuts and a fresh arugula salad with goat cheese and pear on the side. Thank you for the chance to enter.

  35. My fave is Bucatini but probably too hard to make at first, so I would start simple with either lasagna sheets or pappardelle. I would love to make it with small batch, locally milled grains from my local farms, either Nash”s or Fairhaven flour.. and of course my neighbor’s duck eggs. I made a ton of roasted tomato sauce over the summer and could add beef or lamb to that. I am making myself hungry. I am so happy you have inspired me to get off my computer and cook myself some dinner. See you later.

  36. I’m putting foie gras into my tortellino… they will line up and plunge into a clear vegetable broth! (Think Olympic sumersault jumps)

  37. I’ve been itching to make a pear and goat cheese ravioli for awhile now – this would make it so much easier!

    p.s. you make the pasta-making process look beautiful and effortless, Betty!

  38. i’d try my luck at lasagna.

    lasagna was a rarity in my house. growing up on all the essential delicious korean foods whipped up so magically and effortlessly by my mom, italian cuisine was a foreign wonder that sometimes knocked on our fridge door, excused itself as it squeezed between two glass jars of maturing kimchi, kinda like that big lab we wished we had lying across our laps on the couch. it was always stouffers, safe and satisfying each rare time. i never knew which layer i liked the most. i think i’d always deconstruct the layers and reassemble. the top layer of cheese always went first.

    anywho, i’d love to take a stab at it, to relive those memories of figuring out how to use the oven for reasons other than storing our pots and pans. make all the slices of lasagna mom would give to us, saying she wasn’t hungry or wasn’t a big fan, dollop it with all the love she gave us throughout the years.

    yea, definitely lasagna. thanks for such an inspiring post. it was nice to reminisce.

  39. I’m from Boston, where my mother’s parents moved from Italy. My nana makes my favorite ravioli in the world (her spaghetti and lasagna are my fav, too, but I love ravioli SOOO MUCH). She taught me how to make the filling, but her ancient pasta maker broke the week before I was visiting her! She’s gotten it up and running again, and the next time I visit, she’s going to teach me the dough recipe and how to form the ravioli. At home, I make my own breads and pie crusts etc, and my partner and I cook dinner together every night. We always have either spaghetti or rice, and do something creative with the vegetables we get from a farmers’ market once a week. We don’t have a lot of money, so we get the cheapest spaghetti. I keep on thinking, I can’t wait until I can make our own pasta dough.
    If I won your giveaway, the first thing I’d make is my nana’s ravioli!

  40. Omg this looks so amazing. I would love to make literally anything, but I’m a sucker for rigatoni. I’d probably start with that 🙂

  41. I’ve never actually made pasta from scratch. I think I’d start with a classic dish like bolognese, perhaps with linguine? 🙂

  42. I would love, love, love to try a pumpkin fettuccine to pair with sausage and sage. Thank you for the chance!

  43. Homemade pasta is tricky but with cooking the process is fun too! I would make maultasche. It’s German deliciousness.

  44. Just made rolled pasta for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was so fun! Would love to make some pappardelle if I win. Your miso squash ravioli looks delicious and would love to try that sometime as well! Thanks! 🙂

  45. I would make egg yolk ravioli with brown butter sauce. My husband is the pasta maker in our house, and he does a wonderful version of this yummy dish. I would love to win this Kitchen Aid for him, as he has wanted one for a while. 🙂

  46. I would love to try making Orecchiette! I love the way it holds sauce in the nooks and crannies 🙂 Thank you for the chance to win!

  47. I would make a kale-based spaghetti and top it with roasted walnuts, beets, and romano cheese… don’t even have a recipe but I would play around until I got something that tasted good! 🙂

  48. I’d probably start with fettuccine, and work my way up to ravioli! I’ve always wanted to make fresh pasta 🙂

  49. A basic fettuccine to pair with pesto. I like simple, comforting foods whenever possible, but this sounds delicious for the days when I feel more adventurous.

  50. Beautiful as expected
    Yummy as always.
    I have been a follower for a couple of years.
    I was first drawn to your gorgeous photography of food.
    Then, as a foodie and cookie realized your recipes are delicious too.

    We forage for wild mushrooms.
    I’m thinking of creating stuffed ravioli with wild morals, pine nuts, spinach, feta ravioli..sautéed in a browned butter sauce..a micro green salad and crusty bread.
    A glass of Chablis..
    Perfect as I’ve wanted a pasta attachment!
    Thanks and
    Yum.

  51. At least weekly I still think about the amazing pear pecorino ravioli I had from a restaurant in Florence where I studied abroad. I’m keeping my fingers crossed to win the mixer and get to work on perfecting that recipe from memory…then sharing it with my friends and family! Thank you for another beautiful post, Betty!
