A while ago I posted the recipe for our homemade Thermomix pasta dough. Well! This Thermomix Pumpkin Ravioli uses that super easy dough recipe… but with the yummiest filling inside!
This recipe is perfect for the whole family. This time I made a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce with crispy prosciutto to go with the ravioli, but you can use absolutely any pasta sauce you like. Creamy, tomato-based… anything!
After I cooked the Thermomix Pumpkin Ravioli, I set a few pieces aside (without any sauce) and pureed them in the Thermomix for my 6 month old. He LOVED it!!!
You can also freeze any of the uncooked ravioli squares – perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Simply pop them into an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. You can, of course, freeze the cooked ravioli as well, but I find that freezing the uncooked ravioli is best as it’s nice and fresh when you decide to cook it.
