- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Toss the kabocha in olive oil, chilli and salt and pepper. Bake on a baking tray for about 30 minutes or until soft with golden brown edges.
- Allow to cool slightly. Remove any excess moisture from the ricotta before mixing with the squash, basil and Parmesan.
- Lay a wonton wrapper down on a clean dry surface and place a spoonful of squash-ricotta mix in the centre. Wet each edge of the wonton wrapper with water and place a second wrapper on-top. gently press down on all sides, pushing any air out. Repeat for the remaining wrappers.
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil and heat a frying pan on medium with a dash of olive oil. Fry the chorizo in the pan until golden and crisp. There should also be lots of pan juices.
- Lower the ravioli in batches into the boiling water, ensuring not to overcrowd. Allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes (they will rise to the surface when ready). Remove ravioli with a slotted spoon, serve on plates with the chorizo, pan juices and sprigs of thyme.

Used different ingredients. I made the ravioli using wonton wrappers with Sweet potato, Feta and Spinach - it was delicious! I prepared the sweet potato the same way with the chilli and still included parmesan. I served it with a simple tomato sauce. - 07 Apr 2010 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
Can you fry the pumpkin with the chilli instead to save time? - 10 Jul 2009 (Review from Allrecipes AU | NZ)
