Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 pieces Ravioli (store-bought or homemade, any filling of choice)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, roughly chopped
- 6 leaves Fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 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. Add the ravioli and cook according to the package instructions (typically 3-5 minutes for fresh ravioli). Once cooked, drain the ravioli, toss with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Allow it to bubble and foam for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to turn golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the chopped walnuts and toast them in the butter for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly golden and fragrant.
Add the minced garlic and sliced sage leaves to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, just until the garlic is fragrant and the sage softens.
Carefully add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat it in the buttery walnut mixture. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the ravioli is warmed through.
Season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the ravioli to serving plates and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, nutty ravioli dish!
