In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and salt.
Create a well in the center and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Gradually add the water while mixing with a fork until the dough comes together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Place the butternut squash cubes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.
Roast the squash for 25 to 30 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
In a skillet over medium heat, saute the sage leaves and garlic in a little olive oil until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the roasted butternut squash to the skillet, along with the vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, and nutmeg. Stir until well combined and slightly mashed.
Use a food processor to blend the squash mixture until smooth. Set aside to cool.
Divide the pasta dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece into a thin sheet using a pasta maker or rolling pin.
Place teaspoons of the squash filling onto one pasta sheet at intervals of approximately 2 inches.
Brush the edges of the pasta sheet around the filling with a little water, then place another sheet over it. Press around the filling to seal, ensuring no air is trapped inside.
Cut out ravioli using a ravioli cutter or knife.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for about 3 to 4 minutes, until they float to the surface.
Remove with a slotted spoon and serve immediately with your favorite dairy-free sauce or olive oil drizzle.
