Ingredients

  • (2) ounce pkgs. fresh ravioli (flavor of choice such as pumpkin, butternut squash, cheese, etc)
  • 6 Tablespoons salted butter (may use up to 8 Tablespoons if you prefer more sauce)
  • 2-3 Tablespoons fresh sage leaves (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat large pot of water over high heat. Add a generous amount of salt. Once the water is boiling, add ravioli and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. 
  2. While cooking ravioli, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently and swirling the pot to ensure even cooking. After several minutes, the butter will begin to foam. Add the sage leaves and walnuts and  continue to stir and swirl the skillet. When the butter is a light golden brown color and nutty in aroma and the sage is crispy, remove from heat.
  3. Toss cooked ravioli in with the sauce. Salt to taste. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese, if preferred. +

Notes

  • *I used Trader Joe's pumpkin ravioli in this dish. Butternut squash ravioli works beautifully as well.
