Step 1: Prepare the pasta dough. On a clean work surface, mound the flour and create a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Using a fork, slowly whisk the eggs, gradually incorporating the flour until a sticky dough forms.
Step 2: Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3: While the dough rests, prepare the pumpkin filling. In a bowl, mix pumpkin puree, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Step 4: Roll out the rested pasta dough into thin sheets using a pasta machine or rolling pin. Aim for a thickness of about 1/16 inch.
Step 5: Spoon small dollops (about 1 teaspoon each) of the pumpkin filling onto half of the pasta sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly brush around the filling with water to help seal the layers.
Step 6: Lay another sheet of pasta over the filling. Press down gently around each filling mound to remove any air pockets, then seal the edges. Use a ravioli cutter or knife to cut into individual ravioli.
Step 7: Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook the ravioli in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 8: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat until it begins to brown and smells nutty. Add the sage leaves and cook for 1-2 minutes until crispy.
Step 9: Gently toss the cooked ravioli in the butter sage sauce to coat evenly. Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste, if needed.
Step 10: Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
