Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 pieces Ravioli (store-bought or homemade, any filling of choice)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 quarts Water
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt (for boiling water)
Instructions
Fill a large pot with 4 quarts of water, add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.
While the water is heating, prepare the balsamic brown butter sauce. In a large skillet, melt the 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the 10 sage leaves to the butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter begins to brown and the sage leaves turn crispy. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning the butter.
Once the butter has browned and has a nutty aroma, reduce the heat to low and stir in 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Be cautious, as it may sizzle when it hits the hot pan. Mix well and remove the skillet from heat.
Add the ravioli to the boiling water. Cook according to the package or recipe directions, typically 3-5 minutes or until the ravioli floats to the surface.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked ravioli directly to the skillet with the balsamic brown butter sauce. Gently toss to coat the ravioli in the sauce.
Season the dish with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of freshly cracked black pepper. Toss again to combine.
Divide the sauced ravioli among 4 plates. Garnish each serving with crispy sage leaves, sprinkle generously with 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
