Easy Vegan Pumpkin Ravioli

I love ravioli. Unfortunately, there is nowhere within a 50 mile radius of me in which I can purchase vegan ravioli. I know Rising Moon Organics has a few options, but our store carries the non-vegan packages. Kite Hill has a ravioli but our stores don’t offer it and to boot, I found it in the states, it was like $10 for a tiny package. Nuh uh, sorry.

So, I was obligated to make my own. I’ve actually made ravioli many times and was really surprised to find I didn’t have a recipe on here already! My favorite is a vegan ricotta ravioli with a vegan bolognese sauce, but I thought this pumpkin one was more appropriate considering pumpkin season is in full swing. Also, it’s so incredibly easy and lately I’ve been all about the fast and easy dishes. Have you noticed? Life moves fast with a toddler.

We’re also finishing the first floor of our home! When we built our upside down home (living room/kitchen/dining on the top floor) we choose not to complete the first floor which holds two kids bedrooms, one bathroom, and a main room. It also has the laundry room, which we did finish, and our mechanical room. There’s lots to do, even with subcontracting the work, so the faster and easier and honestly less stressful dinner can be… the better. Right? Yes.

This simple and easy vegan ravioli is made with wonton wrappers and stuffed with a slightly sweet pumpkin filling. Served hot, it’s drizzled with a creamy butter sage sauce. You’ll be shocked how quickly these are made.

Ingredients
  • 1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree
  • ½ cup vegan breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp table salt
  • Dash of fresh nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • ¾ tsp dried rubbed sage
  • Dash of ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 14 oz package of wonton wrappers
  • Fresh herbs, for garnish (optional)
  • Toasted pecans, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Bring a large saute or saucepan of water to boil for the ravioli over high heat. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl combine the pumpkin through the nutmeg. Set aside.
  2. n a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it’s sizzling. Whisk in the sage, pepper, and flour; cook for a minute or two then slowly whisk in the broth and soy milk. Continue to simmer for about 3 minutes over low heat until it’s thickened; remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Assemble the ravioli three at a time (or as many as will fit in your pot, uncrowded) by placing a scant 1 tbsp of the pumpkin filling in the center of one won ton square. Brush the pasta around the filling with water then place another square on top, pressing firmly all around the filling (make sure there’s no air left in there) to seal the ravioli.
  4. Boil the ravioli gently in batches for about 2 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon and repeat with remaining ravioli.
  5. Serve hot topped with the sage butter sauce, and garnished with fresh herbs and toasted pecans if you like.

I used to buy the store brand liquid vegetable broth in the carton but now I buy a German powdered broth here for seven times less!! It’s only $0.10 per 1 cup versus almost $0.70 per 1 cup at our local grocery store.

Pumpkin Tom Kha (Coconut Lemongrass Soup)

This soup is inspired by the Lao Pumpkin and Coconut Tom Kha at my favorite local restaurant, Pho Lena, in Anchorage. It’s basically Tom Kha Gai without the chicken and with pumpkin instead. I add tofu for a protein boost! In Alaska, it can be difficult to find some of the very specific ingredients for Tom Kha so I’ve included commonplace substitutions. I have to use ginger, lime rind, and canned mushrooms because galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and straw mushrooms aren’t accessible. Still, the soup is absolutely divine!

I'm almost scared to post this recipe, but I have to because it's one of my very favorite soups and I'm not ignorant to the fact that many folks aren't able to source authentic, specialty ingredients; especially those of us in rural areas (and especially in Alaska).

Does this mean we can't or shouldn't try to replicate our favorite ethnic dishes? I don't think so. In no way am I claiming this Tom Kha to be authentic, however, I think it's a pretty darn good replication with ingredients one can get at any local grocery store. It's my hope that you enjoy it as much as I do and if you're able to find galangal, straw mushrooms, and kaffir lime leaves... um...send me some in the mail, please. Pretty please?

It's my great joy to share this recipe with all of you small-town kids who struggle with making pretty much anything 'authentic'. I refuse to be constrained to tofu noodle soup because my store doesn't care bird's eye chilis. Who's with me!?

This soup is inspired by the Lao Pumpkin and Coconut Tom Kha at my favorite local restaurant, Pho Lena, in Anchorage. It’s basically Tom Kha Gai without the chicken and with pumpkin instead. I add tofu for a protein boost! In Alaska, it can be difficult to find some of the very specific ingredients for Tom Kha so I’ve included commonplace substitutions. I have to use ginger, lime rind, and canned mushrooms because galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and straw mushrooms aren’t accessible. Still, the soup is absolutely divine!

Ingredients

  • 1 small pumpkin or delicata squash (2 cups cubed)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 15 oz can of full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 stick of fresh lemongrass
  • 1 1-inch piece of galangal or ginger, peeled and micrograted
  • dash of crushed red pepper, to taste
  • 6 kaffir lime leaves or 1 1-inch piece of lime rind
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (optional)
  • ½ lb fresh straw mushrooms or 1 8oz can of sliced mushrooms, drained
  • ½ of a 14 oz block of firm tofu, cubed
  • 2 limes, juiced (¼ cup juice)
  • 3 tbsp vegan fish sauce or 1 tbsp soy sauce, to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh basil, chiffonade
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Deseed the pumpkin and cut off the ends. Slice into wedges and steam for 15-20 minutes until just tender. Set aside to cool. Slice off the skin (leave skin on if using delicata) and cube.
  2. In a large soup pot, bring the vegetable broth and coconut milk to a gentle boil over medium high heat then reduce to a very low simmer.
  3. Slice the lemongrass in half lengthwise and bruise with the back of a measuring cup. Add the lemongrass, galangal, crushed red pepper, lime leaves, and brown sugar to the pot and stir; simmer for 3 minutes.
  4. Add the mushrooms and tofu, simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the lime juice, fish sauce, and basil. Remove from heat. Serve hot and topped with cilantro.

Spiced Pumpkin Eggnog

Happy Halloween! I'm all dressed up, and be sure to check out social media later to see what I am. Don't forget to let me know what you're dressing up as!

It's time to do the eggnog dance. Oh yes. You might be thinking, "Eggnog? It's technically not even November yet!?" and to that I say, "If you add pumpkin, anything is game for October." Hence, the eggnog, which I was badly craving ever since I saw the organic cow milk egg nog at the store. 

I inquired about the non-dairy stuff and the stocker told me they only get a few cartons here and there. Boo that. Sometimes I forget I can just make the stuff (1000x better too) at home! So yesterday I decided to make me some! Except, I was out of cashews...drat! I wasn't about to let that stop me though. Macadamia nuts swooped in to the rescue, but I recommend using cashews. This recipe is adapted from my most delicious eggnog recipe
