Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the ravioli according to the package directions. Reserve about ½ a cup of the cooking water. Drain the ravioli in a colander and set aside.
  • While the ravioli is cooking, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped sage and minced garlic. Sauté for about 20 seconds (until fragrant). Be careful not to burn the garlic and butter!
  • Stir in the pumpkin puree, chicken broth, nutmeg, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in the heavy whipping cream, parmesan, and 2 tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water and simmer for 2 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a couple more tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to thin it. Taste the sauce and add salt if needed.
  • Add the ravioli and gently combine it with the sauce. Turn off the heat and let the ravioli sit in the pumpkin sauce for a couple more minutes before serving.
  • Plate, and top with freshly grated parmesan.

Notes

Try it with cheese ravioli or mushroom ravioli instead. You can also use frozen ravioli. The amount of reserved pasta cooking water you add will vary depending on how much liquid is in your pumpkin puree.
