I am thankfully not making the entire Thanksgiving dinner but will make pomegranate mojitos (it is a tradition), brine the turkey and also attempt a new take on pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin but hate the texture of pumpkin pie, so I have decided to attempt a dessert ravioli with pumpkin filling and some sort of flavored whipping cream. Sort of like a butternut squash ravioli in brown sage butter but for dessert with whipping cream, of course! I wanted to test it out this weekend to work out any kinks and avoid Thanksgiving disaster!

My current plan is quite simple, make a delicious pumpkin filling with real pumpkin and use pasta sheets from a local fresh pasta shop to create the raviolis. Quickly fry the ravioli to make it a little crispy and top with flavored whipping cream.

Sounds terribly easy, however, I am sure it will not be that simple. I was just wondering if anyone has made raviolis before. Any tips? Do I need a ravioli maker?

Also, does anyone have a fabulous pumpkin filling recipe made with real pumpkin.? I must admit I have only made pumpkin pie with the canned stuff! Ugh, I know!
