Butternut Squash Ravioli with Brown Sugar and Sage image

Since the very first time I tasted this combination of flavors in a ravioli dish, I became addicted. It has all the elements. Sweet, salty, creamy, crunchy, a little spicy and buttery. just don't think it can get any better than this dish!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 oz butternut squash ravioli, cooked per package instructions
3/4 c pecans, chopped
1/2 c dried cranberries
3 Tbsp butter, not margarine
1/4 c brown sugar
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh sage
2 Tbsp heavy cream

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare pasta as directed on package and drain.
  • 2. While pasta cooks, start the sauce. Have all the ingredients ready as this comes together quickly.
  • 3. Using a large wide sauce pan or skillet, toast pecans with cranberries on medium heat until just fragrant.
  • 4. Reduce heat to low, add butter and stir.
  • 5. Add brown sugar, salt cayenne and sage. Stir until butter is completely melted.
  • 6. Whisk in cream, add cooked ravioli and enjoy!
  • 7. *** If you can't find butternut squash ravioli, you can always use the chicken ravioli, spinach or even the cheese ravioli and you will be just fine. I usually get mine at Sam's Club or Cub. If you are feeling energetic, you can always make your own.
