A delicious, creative way to use up leftover pumpkin pie is to make homemade pumpkin ravioli. I love it with a brown butter sauce and sage. Easy to do and take help from Wonton wrappers in place home homemade pasta sheets.

Pumpkin Ravioli With Brown Butter Sauce And Sage
In my house the one pie that everyone brings and no one eats is pumpkin pie. I don’t have anything against pumpkin pie. Truly, I don’t. But what I love is using the leftover pumpkin pie in this delicious pumpkin ravioli recipe. Plus if you pour brown butter and sage on any pasta, you are going to be fighting me for seconds.
How to make pumpkin ravioli with wonton wrappers
Instead of making fresh pasta (although you are welcome to) I take a little help from store bought wonton wrappers to make pumpkin raviolis.
- Slice wonton wrappers in half, length wise.
- Spoon out the filling of the leftover pumpkin pie. I use about a tablespoon per ravioli.
- Place the pumpkin pie filling centered on the upper half of the wonton wrapper.
- To seal the ravioli, run a small boarder of water around the edge of the ravioli.
- Fold the wonton wrapper over the pumpkin pie filling. Be sure to remove all the air, or as much as possible, from around the filling as you seal the raviolis. If you have a large air pocket you have a higher chance of the ravioli busting open as they cook.
