Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2 cups butternut squash, roasted and mashed
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Pasta

  • 1 package ravioli pasta

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 10 fresh sage leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the roasted and mashed butternut squash with ricotta, grated Parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated to create a smooth and flavorful filling.
  2. Fill the ravioli: Spoon a small amount of the filling onto each ravioli pasta square and carefully seal the edges to enclose the filling, ensuring no gaps to prevent leakage during cooking.
  3. Cook the ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Gently drop the sealed ravioli into the boiling water and cook them until they float to the surface, about 4-5 minutes, signaling they are done.
  4. Make the brown butter sage sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns a golden brown color and the sage leaves become crisp and fragrant. Be careful to avoid burning the butter.
  5. Toss and serve: Drain the cooked ravioli carefully and add them to the skillet with the brown butter sage sauce. Gently toss to coat each ravioli thoroughly with the sauce. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh sage leaves for the best aromatic flavor in the brown butter sauce.
  • Ensure ravioli edges are well sealed to prevent filling leakage.
  • Roast the butternut squash beforehand to enhance its natural sweetness and texture.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese before serving.
  • This recipe works well with store-bought ravioli for convenience or homemade for a more artisanal touch.
