Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions, or until tender if using homemade ravioli. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the ravioli and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.
Add the sage leaves to the skillet and fry them for about 1-2 minutes, or until crisp. Remove the leaves with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, letting the mixture gently simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat them with the sauce.
Serve the ravioli immediately, garnished with the crispy sage leaves and an additional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
