Interesting ravioli fillings?
Does anyone have a good recipe or direction to a blog/cookbook (etc.) for interesting ravioli fillings other than ricotta? Two caveats - vegetarian please and no squash or pumpkin. Thank you!

Its a very loose definition of filling, but I don't think food needs a "theme". This gives you the freedom of playing around with flavors that you like and what's fresh at the time.
About ricotta - it's a part of many fillings, even when not the dominant component. So assuming you mean no 'plain' ricotta filling, this Mario Batali spring pea/lemon ravioli might suit: https://www.eataly.com/us_en/magazine/eataly-recipes/spring-pea-ravioli/
Examples:
Potato onion filling, saute the ravioli, serve with mustard & dill (as appetizer or side dish).
Beet filling with feta in a sauce, or beet & feta combined in the filling (baked or in soup).
Eggs (if lacto ovo ok) in center, quickly poach so egg is still runny, serve immediately in soup
Fruit-nut filling for use as dessert with greek yogurt or sour cream topping
Etc, enjoy
Would a sweet potato be too close to pumpkin in flavor?
And then you can go to mushrooms, onions..Eggplant would be good but frankly just one egg plant very large.
Okay....a Japanese egg plant, with mushrooms..and use a Dashi/miso broth with seaweed garnish.
