10 minute Meals: Butternut Squash Ravioli, Brown Butter Sauce and Crispy Sage

Decadent Brown Butter Sauce, Crispy Sage, Toasted Walnuts and Pillowy Soft  Butternut Squash Ravioli.  Sounds impressive right?  It is!  

The taste is out of this world, it looks beautiful on the plate and no one needs to know it only took you 10 minutes!!  It's our little secret.





Ingredients:

1 package Butternut Squash Ravioli 
3 tablespoons Butter
10-12 Sage Leaves picked off the stem
1/4 cup chopped Walnuts
Salt, Pepper, Red Pepper to Taste


Directions:

1. Cook Ravioli according to package directions
2. In a medium sauce pan, melt 3 tablespoons of Butter and stir occasionally until light, golden brown
3. Add a pinch of Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper.  Red Pepper flakes are optional
3. Once the butter is light brown, add Sage Leaves and let them crisp up in the butter  (this step will take 1-2 minutes).  Be careful not to let the butter burn or turn too dark in color as it will become bitter
4. Turn the heat off and set pan aside
5. In another small, pan, lightly toast chopped walnuts just long enough to release their oils, develop flavor and warm through.  (1-2 minutes tops)
6. Drain your Ravioli and arrange on a platter
7. Spoon Brown Butter Sauce over each ravioli 
8. Arrange Sage leaves over each piece of ravioli
9. Sprinkle Walnuts on top
10. Finish with a little sprinkle of Sea Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper


Happy Cooking and Happy Styling!
