Hello, friends!
Meet my family's new favorite Fall dinner . . .
Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli
with sage and browned butter
Most of us have had Butternut Squash Ravioli, but have you ever had Pumpkin Ravioli, or better yet, HONEY ROASTED Pumpkin Ravioli?
Trader Joe's sells Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli this time of year . . . and it's heavenly.
It's warm and sweet, all wrapped up in one. I actually think that it's more flavorful than many other Fall-flavored raviolis sold this time of year.
I serve this ravioli in a very simple browned butter sauce with sage (and shallots).
Have you ever browned butter to have with your pasta or vegetables? It's so incredibly easy to prepare, and yields such a intensely wonderful flavor.
Browned butter is a true testament to the old saying, "Simple is best." It allows flavors to shine. And in this case, it enhances the honey roasted flavor of the pumpkin and the warmth of the sage. I add shallots to the sauce because I like the salty, sweet bite it adds to this dish.
~ did you notice the crispy shallots? YUM! ~
What makes this dish so special, besides the amazing flavors, is that it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare; OR 5 minutes if your comfortable in the kitchen, because you can brown the butter WHILE the raviolis are boiling, and then transfer them directly to the saute pan where the browned butter and sage is patiently waiting to bathe it in toasted buttery goodness (smile!).
Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli
with sage and browned butter
. . . . . . . . .
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
12 to 15 fresh sage leaves
1- 9 ounce package of Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1⁄2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Turn down the heat under the boiling water to medium. (You don’t want to cook ravioli in rapidly boiling water because they are likely to explode.) Gently lower the ravioli into the boiling water, 6 at a time, and cook until pasta is soft, about 4 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer each batch of ravioli to an oiled baking sheet.
LET'S STAY in touch!

Are you kidding me!? I was JUST at TJ's today. Oh how I wish I had seen your post first. This is my kind of heaven. I LOVE browned butter on pasta. It is truly one of life's most simple pleasures. I need to recreate this with the quickness.
ReplyDeleteSomething else to add to my Trader Joe's lists! Thankfully hubby is heading state-side this weekend! Gorgeous photos, as always...thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to find something at Trader Joe that I don't like. I could spend an entire day in there.
ReplyDeleteI had never had pumpkin ravioli before, they look good, I'm going to get a package from TJ and try out your recipe.
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect for the chilly days of November! I have never had pumpkin ravioli, but I love butternut squash. Thanks for introducing it!
ReplyDeleteWe just got a Trader Joe's closer-by! I'm pinning this so I can make it after my next shopping trip there! It looks and sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby loves this pumpkin ravioli! He sampled it last year when the served this pasta and the pumpkin soup-which is so good-as the sauce! Love the pairing of sage with this! Looks so good! Hope all is well!
