Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package pumpkin ravioli
Sauce Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick or 60 milliliters) butter
- 6 fresh sage leaves
Garnish:
- Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (for serving)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil, preparing for the delicate pasta cooking process.
- Gently lower the pumpkin ravioli into the boiling water, ensuring they float freely without overcrowding the pot.
- Cook the ravioli for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until they rise to the surface and appear slightly translucent.
- While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a wide skillet over medium heat, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Add fresh sage leaves to the butter, allowing them to sizzle and become crisp while the butter develops a rich, golden-brown color.
- Carefully drain the cooked ravioli using a slotted spoon, transferring them directly into the fragrant sage butter.
- Delicately toss the ravioli in the sage butter, ensuring each piece is luxuriously coated with the aromatic sauce.
- Transfer the sage butter-coated ravioli to serving plates, garnishing generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately while the pasta is hot and the sage butter is still glistening, allowing the flavors to fully bloom.
Notes
- Swap fresh pasta for store-bought to save time without compromising flavor.
- Add crushed amaretti cookies on top for a traditional Italian sweet-savory twist that elevates the dish’s complexity.
- Toast pine nuts and sprinkle over ravioli for extra crunch and nutty depth.
- Use brown butter technique carefully to prevent burning, watching color change from yellow to golden brown for maximum flavor development.
