Our homecook hero, Gabriel Clark owns a lot of steel coat-hangers, but not because he has a large wardrobe. Once a month at his Darlington home, the 31-year-old graphic designer dangles thin strips of his homemade pasta from hangers to dry.

Ingredients

  • 500g pumpkin, chopped

  • 1/2 cup pine nuts

  • 2 cloves organic garlic

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 egg white

  • Title:For the sauce

  • 2 cans organic tomatoes

  • 250g butter

  • 1 large onion

  • For the pasta

  • 500g flour

  • 6 eggs

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 tbsp warm water

Method

  1. * You will need a pasta machine

    For the pasta

    Make a well in the flour and break the eggs into it. Add oil, salt and water and mix with a fork until dough is too stiff to stir. Knead dough for 15 minutes, until smooth. Leave dough for at least an hour in a bowl covered with a damp cloth.

    For the stuffing

    Rub salt and olive oil onto pumpkin and roast until soft. Roast pine nuts in a dry skillet. Combine pine nuts with chopped garlic and olive oil in a mortar and pestle to make a rough paste. Add to the cooked pumpkin. The mixture should be rough in texture, juicy and gooey.

    For the sauce

    Add tomatoes to a deep pan with butter and halved onions.

    Simmer for 40 minutes, then remove onions. To assemble ravioli Push fist-sized chunks of dough through a pasta machine to make sheets. Cut pasta sheets into 10cm x 10cm squares and fill with a tablespoon of stuffing, paint edges of pasta with egg white, fold to make a triangle and press to seal.

    Cook ravioli in boiling water until it floats to the surface.

    To serve

    Drain then serve with sauce.
