Repeat the rolling-out process with the second portion of pasta dough. Using an 8.5cm/3½in cookie cutter, mark 12 circles in the sheet of pasta dough without cutting through the dough. You need the surface area of the rolled-out dough to yield 12 discs, each 8.5cm/3½in in diameter. When the pasta dough has chilled, take the first portion and roll it out onto a lightly floured work surface to a 1mm thickness (about the thickness of a penny), dusting the dough with a light coating of flour if it starts to stick. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead well for 10 minutes, pummelling and stretching the dough until it is smooth, stretchy and has a slight sheen.ĭivide the dough into four portions and wrap each in cling film. Continue to pulse for a further minute, removing the lid and turning the dough over every 15-20 seconds (CAUTION: keep hands well away from the sharp blade of the food processor).

Meanwhile, for the pasta, blend the flour and eggs in a food processor until the ingredients come together to form a dough. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then set aside until completely cool. Once cooled, stir in the grated cheese and a little grated nutmeg. In a high-sided bowl, blend the warm vegetables to a thick, smooth purée using a hand-held blender. Remove from the oven and set aside for five minutes, to cool. Once the butternut squash has roasted for 20 minutes, sprinkle over the onion slices and continue to roast for a further 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle over the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and stir to coat. Meanwhile, add the onion slices to the bowl used to season the butternut squash. Place the pieces of butternut squash into a roasting tray and roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until tender. Season, to taste, with a couple of pinches of salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper stir again. For the filling, place the butternut squash pieces into a large bowl, drizzle over two teaspoons of olive oil and stir to coat.
