Ingredients
Pumpkin Ravioli
- Pumpkin Ravioli (store-bought or homemade) – 12 oz
Creamy Sauce
- Butter – 2 tbsp
- Garlic, minced – 2 cloves
- Fresh sage leaves – 8-10 leaves
- Heavy cream – 1 cup
- Parmesan cheese, freshly grated – 1/2 cup
- Nutmeg, ground – 1/4 tsp
- Salt – to taste
- Black pepper – to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Pumpkin Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pumpkin ravioli according to package instructions or until they float to the surface, indicating they’re tender and ready.
- Prepare the Creamy Sauce: While the ravioli cooks, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté minced garlic and fresh sage leaves until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add Cream and Seasoning: Pour in the heavy cream and stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper; cook gently to let the sauce thicken and flavors meld.
- Combine Ravioli and Sauce: Drain the ravioli and carefully toss them into the creamy pumpkin sauce, coating each piece evenly and warming through for a minute or two.
- Serve and Garnish: Plate the Creamy Pumpkin Ravioli Pasta, add a final sprinkle of Parmesan, fresh sage leaves, and a grind of black pepper before digging in.
Notes
- Use fresh or high-quality frozen pumpkin ravioli for best flavor and texture.
- Do not overcook ravioli to avoid mushiness.
- Fresh sage leaves provide the best flavor; use dried sparingly.
- Grate Parmesan cheese fresh for better melting and enhanced flavor.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it.
