Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the halves on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Roast the squash in the oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Once cool enough to handle, scoop out the roasted squash flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash it until smooth with a fork or potato masher.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, and egg to the mashed squash. Mix well to combine and season with an additional 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the squash filling in the center of each wrapper.
Use a small brush or your finger to moisten the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the wrappers into triangles or rectangles, pressing the edges firmly to seal, ensuring no air pockets remain.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. While the water heats, make the brown butter sauce.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the sage leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
Cook the prepared ravioli in the boiling water in batches to avoid overcrowding. Boil for 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked ravioli to the skillet with the sage brown butter. Toss gently to coat.
Serve the ravioli immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
