We had quite a dumping of snow over the weekend, so today I decided to make a meal that reminds me of a little restaurant in sunny Arizona – Pasta Pomodoro. They have a great butternut squash ravioli, which I always order when I’m there. I found some pre-made frozen butternut squash ravioli when I went to the grocery store the other day and thought it would make a convenient meal.
Boy, was it ever! I put about 1/2 stick of butter in a fry pan along with the rest of a package of fresh sage leaves I had leftover from when I made lasagna on Saturday. I let the butter brown and become infused with the sage and poured it over the ravs which I had boiled. The brown butter and sage sauce was just like they make at Pasta Pomodoro. My favorite part of the whole dish is how crispy the sage leaves become. They just melt in your mouth when you eat them…delicious. I felt like I cheated a little by using the frozen pasta, but I didn’t mind when everything came together so quickly and easily. I was thinking of adding a few pine nuts over the top, but I didn’t have any. I also didn’t bother with any Parmigiano-Reggiano, but you could certainly add some to this dish.
