Description
A classic Italian dish featuring tender ravioli served in a rich and flavorful sage butter sauce
This recipe offers a simple yet elegant combination of delicate pasta and aromatic herbs
Perfect for a comforting meal that highlights traditional flavors without overwhelming complexity
Ingredients
2 (9-ounce) packages refrigerated ravioli
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
⅓ cup loosely packed fresh sage leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
⅓ cup finely chopped pecans
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup shaved Parmesan
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to the package instructions; drain thoroughly.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sage leaves and cook until the sage becomes crispy and the butter begins to foam, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the sage and place it on a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
Add the garlic, lemon zest, thyme, and pecans to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and the butter turns a deep golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and stir to heat through, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Mix in the lemon juice, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately topped with shaved Parmesan and the reserved crispy sage.
Notes
Excellent dish to serve immediately
