Step 1

Measure and prep all ingredients.

Step 2

Prepare the butternut squash ravioli. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the butternut squash ravioli according to the package’s instructions.

Step 3

While the ravioli is cooking, prepare the butternut squash ravioli sauce. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the thyme sprigs and the sage leaves.

Step 4

Once the butter starts to form small browned bits of butter, add the pine nuts. Toast the pine nuts in the butter while the butter finishes browning, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Add the lemon zest and squeeze the lemon juice into the browned butter, if using. Season with black pepper.

Step 6

Remove the thyme sprigs and toss the cooked butternut squash ravioli into the sauce.

Step 7

Plate the pasta and top with more Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes:

Because there are only a few ingredients, quality is key. High-quality butter is important for a delicious butternut squash ravioli sauce. Try sourcing cultured or European butter.
