Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Butternut squash ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 ounces Pancetta
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the ravioli while preparing the sauce.
Dice the pancetta into small cubes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, add the butter, and let it melt completely. Stir occasionally until it begins to brown slightly and release a nutty aroma, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sage leaves to the browned butter, allowing them to fry for 30 seconds until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sage leaves and set them aside.
Grate the garlic clove directly into the skillet with the remaining butter and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper.
Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
Carefully transfer the drained ravioli to the skillet with the butter sauce. Add the reserved pasta water and toss gently to coat.
Divide the ravioli among plates and top with the crispy pancetta, fried sage leaves, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
