Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the cheese ravioli according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining; set the ravioli aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes until the butter turns golden brown and the leaves are crispy. Remove the sage leaves and set them aside for garnish.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic to the browned butter and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the pumpkin puree and vegetable or chicken broth. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Add the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the sauce. Stir well to combine and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce is creamy and well-blended.
If the sauce is too thick, stir in a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Toss the cooked ravioli gently in the olive oil to coat them lightly and warm them through.
Transfer the ravioli to the pumpkin sage sauce. Carefully toss them to coat evenly in the sauce.
Plate the ravioli and garnish with the crispy sage leaves and additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Cheese Ravioli with Pumpkin Sage Sauce!
