In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add olive oil. Gradually add water while mixing with your hands until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest while preparing the filling.
In a medium pot, boil the butternut squash for about 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash until smooth.
In a bowl, combine the mashed butternut squash, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, chopped sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form the ravioli filling.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into rectangles or use a cookie cutter to make circles.
Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each rectangle or circle. Lightly beat the egg and use a brush to apply around the edges of the dough.
Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal completely. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil and cook the ravioli in batches for 4-5 minutes or until they float to the surface.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat until it starts to brown and releases a nutty aroma. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
Serve ravioli with a drizzle of brown butter, garnished with extra sage if desired.
