KitchenAid attachments rock!

For those who don't know, I'm the Utah rep. for KitchenAid. I sort of fell into this job, but it has been so much fun! This week I've been doing demo's at William Sonoma using the pasta and ravioli attachments. I must say that I love these attachments! I don't know if I can go back to using dry pasta!! Anyway, I took them over to my mom's last night to show her how they work. I made Pumpkin-Sage ravioli with browned butter and pecans. I am still dreaming of it. It was sooooo good! If you don't have the attachments I'm sure there are other ways to make ravioli (by hand, trays, etc.)

Pumpkin-Sage Ravioli with Browned Butter and Pecans
1 recipe Basic Egg Pasta (see below)
1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin
1⁄4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground sage
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons chopped pecans
6 tablespoons butter

• Prepare pasta dough; let rest.
• In medium bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, sage,
  salt, pepper, and nutmeg; refrigerate until ready to fill ravioli.
• Fill ravioli with mixture using whichever method you prefer.
• Cook ravioli in 6 quarts salted, boiling water until al dente or slightly firm to the bite,
  approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
• On baking sheet, place pecans in single layer. Toast
  in oven at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes, or until golden brown and aromatic.
• Meanwhile, in heavy 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, heat butter until
  golden brown. Serve hot butter over cooked ravioli and top with pecans.
