In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, semolina flour, and salt. Mix well.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in water and olive oil. Gradually incorporate the flour into the liquids using a fork.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling by combining pumpkin puree, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, ground nutmeg, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth and set aside.
After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin sheet using a pasta machine or rolling pin.
Place small spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture onto a sheet of dough, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart.
Brush a little water around each filling mound, then lay another sheet of dough on top. Press around each filling to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles.
Cut ravioli using a ravioli cutter or knife, then press the edges to secure.
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 top. Remove using a slotted spoon.
In a pan, melt vegan butter over medium heat. Add sage leaves and allow them to sizzle for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add cooked ravioli and baby spinach to the pan, tossing gently to coat in the buttery sage sauce. Cook until spinach wilts.
Serve the ravioli hot, garnished with additional sage leaves, if desired.
