    Instructions

    Boil the butternut squash ravioli per packaged instructions, drain and place it on a wide serving plate.

    In a butter pot, warm some butter on low heat and add minced garlic. Cook on low heat for about 30 seconds. Add some finely chopped sage leaves (you can keep them whole if you prefer). Add a pinch of bouillon, black pepper, and some red chili flakes.

    Pour the butternut squash ravioli sauce over the cooked ravioli. Use a silicone basting brush to spread the butter onto the pasta.

    Hint: Cooking the butter sauce on low heat is key for this recipe


    Substitutions

    • Sage- use dried sage if that is the only option.
    • Butter- can use margarine

    Variations

    • Spicy - add spicy dried chili pepper flakes while cooking to help infuse the dish
    • Deluxe - add crispy fried sage leaves on top with fresh parmesan cheese
    • Over the top- Truffle oil can be used in addition to butter.

    If you love pasta, then you must give my super easy restaurant-quality mushroom pasta a try! It's a Curry Mommy fan favorite!

    Equipment

    1. large pot for boiling pasta
    2. butter pot for the sauce
    3. microplane to grate garlic
    4. silicone brush to spread the sauce
    5. colander to strain pasta
    6. spatula for mixing

    Storage

    Reheat - Use an oven to reheat the butternut squash ravioli with sauce. Cover the pan with the pasta and bake at 350 degrees until heated through. Low-temperature cooking is key.

    I do not recommend freezing the cooked pasta dish, but the ravioli itself can be frozen after purchase in its original packaging for up to 3 months.


    Top tip

    1. Low heat cooking is key. The sauce for butternut squash ravioli infuses the flavors together slowly.
    2. I like to fry the sage leaves and serve them on top of the ravioli for added flavor and more of a fall pasta flare.
    3. Ravioli Appetizer- Serve the butter sauce on the side and use it as dipping or self-serve.
