Easy Butternut Squash Ravioli

1 cup mashed, cooked butternut squash

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 pinch cayenne pepper

½ cup mascarpone cheese

1 egg yolk

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 (16 ounce) package round wonton wrappers

2 tablespoons butter

1 clove garlic, unpeeled

chopped fresh sage to taste

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Place cooked squash into a mixing bowl. Add salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir in mascarpone cheese, egg yolk, and 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, mixing until the filling is smoothly combined.

Place a wonton wrapper onto a working surface. Wet the tip of a finger in water, and run it all along the outer edge of the wonton skin to moisten. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton. Fold the wonton in half to make a half-moon shape, and press the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers.

Place a deep skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in butter and unpeeled clove of garlic. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil.

Drop the filled raviolis into the boiling water, a few at a time, and cook until they float to the top, about 2 minutes. Drain the raviolis, and transfer them to the skillet. Turn the heat under the skillet up to medium-high, and cook just until the raviolis are infused with garlic flavor, about 2 or 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with chopped sage, more black pepper, and extra Parmesan cheese to taste.
