Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 pieces Fresh ravioli (cheese or desired filling)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 quarts Water (for boiling the ravioli)
- 1 tablespoon Salt (for boiling water)
Instructions
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water.
Carefully place the fresh ravioli into the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
While the ravioli cook, prepare the sage butter sauce. In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Add the sage leaves to the skillet and let them cook in the butter for 1-2 minutes until they become crispy and the butter turns a golden brown, releasing a nutty aroma. Be careful not to let the butter burn.
Once the ravioli are cooked, use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to transfer them directly into the skillet with the sage butter sauce. Toss gently to coat the ravioli in the sauce.
Season the dish with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Divide the ravioli among serving plates. Sprinkle each serving with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious and aromatic dish as a main course or as part of an Italian-inspired meal.
