Ravioli with Pumpkin Pasta Sauce
Description
This dish starts with boiling frozen cheese ravioli until tender, then draining them while the sauce is prepared. The sauce combines a roux of butter and flour, to which chicken broth and milk are whisked in. Garlic is sautéed to bring out aroma and mild sweetness before adding the liquid components along with Parmesan cheese, pumpkin puree, parsley, sage, and nutmeg. The sauce cooks uncovered, thickening gradually to a creamy consistency.
The ravioli are gently folded into this rich pumpkin sauce, absorbing its subtle sweetness and savory herb notes. Finished with toasted pine nuts and walnuts, the dish balances soft, creamy elements with crunchy textures. This pasta is a comforting seasonal meal suited for cooler months.
