Ravioli With Sage Butter

February 21, 2015 by Barbara 3 Comments

Ravioli with sage butter is a quick and easy meal to make on week nights.

This dish is as elegant as it is easy, especially if you buy a good pre-packaged ravioli. It’s serves as a filling first course or side dish to beef, veal, pork or chicken.

Ravioli with sage butter takes three ingredients: ravioli, sage and butter.

Place the ravioli in a pot of boiling, salted water. Then melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it’s golden. Careful not to let it get too brown or burn. Toss in a handful of fresh sage leaves and stir them a few moments until they’re wilted. I picked this sage from my herb garden earlier in the year. It normally lasts through the winter and then comes back full force in the spring. I was beginning to think sage could survive nuclear war. But this past late winter was so cold, my sage finally threw in the towel. I couldn’t believe it would just up and leave me like that. I just planted some little young-uns about a week ago and already they’ve grown about two inches.

Let the butter cook and brown but not burn, then toss in your fresh sage leaves.

Drain the ravioli well and add them to the butter and sage. Toss gently and serve with parmesan cheese. I won’t kid you, this dish is so rich you’ll want to make another batch four days later when you’re hungry again.

What is better than melted, cooked butter, yummy ravioli and fresh sage leaves.
