Roasted Butternut Squash and Chicken Ravioli is a dinner recipe that is perfect for the Fall. This homemade ravioli is made of roast butternut squash and shredded chicken tucked into wonton wrappers. Covered them in a garlic Alfredo sauce, and it’s a dinner that will wow family and friends!
I’ve always wanted to make ravioli at home, but I don’t own a pasta maker.
Honestly though, I really have no desire to get one after my brother-in-law mentioned some years ago that it was a lot of work.
THEN sometime last year, I heard you could make ravioli with wonton wrappers!!!
GENIUS!!
Who knew?!
Ok, you might have, but I certainly didn’t.
I thought those things were only for wontons (hellooooo?)!
Now after discovering these babies, I don’t think there’s anything I can’t put into a wonton wrapper!
Ok, well, maybe there is some stuff, but I’m not going to get into that right now.
Maybe we’ll save that for another post.

You know, looking back at all of my recipes, I have a lot of butternut squash and chicken dishes. There’s the Roasted Vegetable Chicken Lasagna. The Oven Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto. Does that count? It’s got chicken stock in it, but no chicken exactly. Then there’s the Butternut Chicken Pinwheels. We have the Roast Chicken, Butternut, Squash and Potatoes recipe.
And finally, there’s the Roasted Vegetable, Spinach & Feta Pizza. That doesn’t have any chicken on it, not even chicken stock (’cause that would just make for a soggy pizza and that would be gross), but you could certainly go right ahead and add chicken to it. I won’t mind.
Actually, I’d applaud you.
So, to sum it up in a nutshell, here on the 365 Days of Baking blog we have quite a few butternut squashes and chicken recipes. I think it might be because I am serious, no, I mean SERIOUSLY addicted to roast butternut squash.
OH. EM. GEEEEEE!!!!!
That stuff is like FREAKIN’ candy to me!! I almost ate all the squash off the pan after I pulled it from the oven.
NO joke. UGH!! Just thinking about it is making my doggone mouth water!!!!! I could seriously think of worse things to be addicted to, so I think I’m doing alright when only being addicted to a vegetable. You know I spelled that word wrong in our 6th-grade spelling bee. I was a really good speller, too, but when the pressure’s on, I freak. V-E-G-A-T-A-B-L-E.
Yup, that’s how I spelled it. Knocked out in the first round I was. What a MAJOR bummer! Apparently, I never got over it and never brought it up with my multiple counselors over the years, so here I am using you for therapy.
Thank you.
You didn’t know that that was going to be my M.O. for doing this blog, did you? And here I’ve got you all thinking that this is for sharing recipes, good food, and my occasional screw-up in the kitchen. HA!!! Boy, do I have YOU fooled!!!
No, it’s not. I just wanted to be silly and make you think you had been tricked or sumpin’… And I’m just trying to fill blog space instead of just posting a recipe. Just that would be…
BORING!!

The sauce that’s used is none other than the amazing Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce.
I rate everything I make on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the best and these Roasted Butternut Squash Ravioli earned 3 rolling pins.
They were ultra-rich, my friends, and quite filling.

Chicken Mozzarella Pasta

Baked Stuffed Shells
Each of us only had about 4-5, so there was plenty for four people.
These were a bit time consuming what with roasting the squash (eating some of the pieces), cooking and shredding the chicken and assembling the ravioli.
They were really good, but to be honest, this is not a dish I’m going to be making for us regularly. I love you, family, but…
Comments & Reviews
Looks delish! I love the color it gets from the butternut squash!
roasted BN squash in bread – WOW. This sounded good until I read that you used roasted squash – then i could smell it. Great job putting together this recipe – and thanks for sharing!
You are driving me crazy with all these squash recipes! I also make a squash focaccia and it is one of the nicest breads to eat. I have also bookmarked your pasta shells to make this week.
Looks so good! Hmmm, I love ramen but this looks too involved for me. I’m too much of a health snob to eat packaged ramen though, although tempting – would rather save my fat for favorite treats. Thanks for helping me get hungry though! ????
If it wasn’t tasty enough with the butternut squash, you added caramelized onions! I’m thinking some parmesan cheese on top next time would be yummy.
Never thought to put roasted tomatoes into a salad, but of course it goes so well with the roasted squash. I added roasted beets since I had some. Don’t have pine nuts; subbed pecans. For the dressing, I didn’t have orange/juice and the stores don’t yet have frozen or fresh cranberries, so I reconstituted dried with hot water. Made my own balsamic dressing with a bit of Dijon mustard. Added strips of grilled tempeh (I’m really not obsessed with protein, but just wanted to use it up).
This contains sooooooo much healthy protein and delicious spices! I cannot wait to try making this with my mother ? I think the whole family would love it!!
