This pumpkin ravioli recipe from cookinglight.com slims down a heavy Italian dish by using wonton wrappers instead of pasta dough. Although it may take some labor to wrap the pureed pumpkin, the calories and fat you save from store-bought ravioli is well worth it. Drizzle the ravioli with a light butter and gorgonzola cheese sauce.
Along with a host of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, pumpkins contain beta-carotene, which can reverse skin damage caused by the sun.
