Toy Story

Toy Story is a 1995 Disney Pixar flim. This movie can be streamed on Disney+. Disney+’s description of the movie is:

Set in a world where toys have a life of their own – when people are not present- Toy Story takes moviegoers on a fantastic fun-filled journey, viewed mostly through the eyes of two rival toys: Woody (Tom Hanks), a pull-string talking cowboy, and Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), a heroic space action-figure. The comically mismatched duo eventually learn to put aside their differences when they’re separated from their owner, Andy, and find themselves on a hilarious adventure-filled mission…where the only way they can survive is to form an uneasy alliance.

Toy Story Themed Snack

Sheriff Woody’s Star Ravioli is the Toy Story themed snack. This is also a Mickey Check meal. Here is what you will need for this recipe:

Filling

• 1 small whole butternut squash, (about 2 lbs) seeded and sliced lengthwise
• 1 small garlic clove
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Pasta

• 1 lb fresh egg pasta or lasagna sheets (usually found in refrigerated section)
• 1/4 cup semolina flour, needed for dusting

Sauce

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup pasta water
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Additional Items Needed

• Sheet pan
• Blender
• Resealable plastic bag and scissors (or) pastry back with 1/2 inch tip
• Saute pan
• 3-inch star-shaped cookie cutter

Directions

Make the Filling

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place halved butternut squash on a sheet pan and roast for 40 minutes until tender.
2. Remove from oven and scoop flesh from the squash into a blender. Add garlic, olive oil, sage, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, and salt and blend until smooth. Add the ricotta and Parmesan cheeses and pulse just until combined.
3. Place the filling in a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip or transfer to a resealable plastic bag and trim the tip with scissors. Set aside.

Make the Ravioli

1. Dust a work surface with a light coating of semolina flour and lay the fresh pasta sheets down, one sheet at a time.
2. Place 2 teaspoons of filling 2 inches apart over half of pasta sheet. Brush around fulling with water to moisten. Fold sheet over; press down to seal. Cut into raviolis with a star-shaped cookie cutter. Kids can help with this part. Repeat with the remaining pasta sheets, until 40 raviolis are formed.

Cook the Ravioli

1. To cook the pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. Meanwhile, in a saute pan over medium high hear, add olive oil, pasta water, ravioli and saute until a light sauce is formed, about 2 – 4 minutes.

Serve the Ravioli

1. Serve by placing ravioli on a large serving dish or by plating 5 ravioli per plate. Drizzle with pan sauce, sprinkle with remaining grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy immediately.
