A quick and easy ravioli dish featuring fresh or frozen cheese ravioli tossed in a nutty brown butter sage sauce with crispy edges, perfect for cozy dinners and crowd-pleasing meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) fresh or frozen cheese ravioli (spinach and ricotta preferred, but mushroom or butternut squash can be used)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter
  • 12–15 fresh sage leaves, whole and washed
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • ½ cup (50g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: toasted pine nuts

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (about 1 tablespoon salt per 4 quarts/4 liters). Add ravioli and cook according to package instructions, usually 3-4 minutes for fresh, 5-7 minutes for frozen. Drain carefully with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reserve ½ cup pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir frequently as it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4-5 minutes).
  3. Add sage leaves and minced garlic (if using) to the browned butter. Cook 1-2 minutes until sage crisps and garlic softens without browning. Remove from heat.
  4. Toss cooked ravioli gently with olive oil. Place ravioli in skillet with brown butter sage sauce in a single layer. Cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes per side until edges are golden and crispy. Add reserved pasta water if pan gets dry.
  5. Season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Transfer ravioli to plates, spoon remaining brown butter and crispy sage over top. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and optional lemon juice or toasted pine nuts.

Notes

Use medium heat to brown butter carefully to avoid burning. Crisp ravioli in batches to prevent steaming. Fresh sage crisps best; dried sage or other herbs like thyme or rosemary can be substituted. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
