Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves cut side up on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Roast the squash in the oven for 40-50 minutes or until fork-tender. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl and mash with a fork until smooth.
Mix the mashed butternut squash with the goat cheese, Parmesan, 4 chopped fresh sage leaves, and the large egg. Season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Set the filling aside.
To make the pasta dough, mound the flour on a clean work surface and create a well in the center. Crack 3 large eggs into the well and whisk them gently with a fork, gradually incorporating the flour from the edges. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the pasta dough into four pieces. Roll each piece out thinly using a pasta roller or rolling pin, dusting with semolina flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Place small spoonfuls of the butternut squash filling (about 1 teaspoon each) onto one sheet of dough, spaced about 1 inch apart. Brush around the filling with a little water to help seal the ravioli. Lay a second sheet of dough over the top and press around each mound of filling to seal. Cut into ravioli using a sharp knife, ravioli cutter, or cookie cutter. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 4 sage leaves and cook until the butter turns golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the toasted hazelnuts and cook for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook the ravioli in the boiling water in batches for 2-3 minutes, until they float to the top. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving plate.
Drizzle the ravioli with the hazelnut brown butter sauce. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
