Ingredients
- 16 oz butternut squash ravioli
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- Coarse salt, to taste
- Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
- 3–4 fresh sage leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook butternut squash ravioli according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a light-colored skillet, melt butter over medium heat, stirring frequently. After about 5 minutes, add minced sage and continue stirring until golden brown flecks appear and butter smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool for 2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in the broth, followed by the cream, being careful of splatter.
- Stir in lemon juice and Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked ravioli to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan and sage leaves if desired.
Notes
- To keep it vegetarian, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Top with toasted walnuts or pecans for crunch.
- Red pepper flakes can add a spicy kick.
- Add mascarpone for extra creaminess.
- Optional add-ins: mushrooms, spinach, or Italian sausage.
