INSTRUCTIONS
SERVINGS LACTO/VEGAN If you are adept at preparing homemade pasta. this recipe provides a chance to showcase your talent. Otherwise, purchase fresh pasta sheets from a specialty foods store or Italian market. Broth: In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add leek and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth, sage and pepper and simmer 5 minutes. In small cup, mix cornstarch and water. Pour into broth mixture and simmer, stirring often, until thickened slightly, about 3 minutes. (Sauce may be prepared up to 2 hours before serving. Let stand at room temperature. Reheat just before serving.) In medium bowl, mix pumpkin, cheese, fennel seeds, salt and nutmeg. Cut pasta sheets into 2 1/2- by 15-inch strips. Arrange one strip on a lightly floured surface. Spoon filling by heaping teaspoonfuls down center of one pasta sheet, making 6 mounds per strip and spaced about 1 inch apart. Using a pastry brush dipped in water, wet edges of pasta around mounds. Place another pasta strip over first, pressing firmly around filling. Cut into squares around filled areas; press edges of each ravioli firmly to seal. Transfer to a dry kitchen towel or sheet of wax paper. Repeat with remaining pasta strips and filling. Place ravioli in plastic freezer bag and freeze up to 2 months. To cook: Drop frozen ravioli into a large pot of boiling water. Return to boil; and boil until pasta is al dente (slightly firm to the bite), 5 to 8 minutes depending on thickness of pasta. Drain well and transfer to shallow serving bowl. Top with warm broth. PER SERVING: 298 CAL.; 11G PROT.; 4G TOTAL FAT (1G SAT. FAT): 55G CARB.; 62MG CHOL.; 307MG SOD.; 2G FIBER.
