If you are starting to plan for the holidays, add Butternut Squash Ravioli to your list! Little clouds of stuffed pasta topped with lightly fried sage leaves and then drizzled with brown butter. This Autumnal side is a must for your next gathering!
Start with fresh ravioli. I buy mine at our local natural foods market. It’s made with organic ingredients and always fresh. The containers come in a 12 ounce size so I’ll pick up two if I’m serving 4 to six side-dish servings.
You’ll also need fresh sage leaves, creamy butter, olive oil, salt and pepper. That’s it!
Start by melting butter in a skillet. Add the sage leaves and saute until golden brown.

Do you pour butter over pasta? Ir just use the sage leaves?
I would pour the butter over and additional olive oil if needed.
