NAKED RAVIOLI
There is an Italian name for pasta stuffing that is served outside of the pasta: nudi, as in naked ravioli. Often, nudi are served without any pasta at all, as a starter. I like them, however, on pasta, either with a light tomato sauce or - as in this recipe - with butter, sage and Parmesan. It's fresh ravioli made realistic.

Steps:
- In a bowl, combine meat with egg, cheese, parsley, onion, and salt and pepper. Mix well but do not knead. Form into balls 1/2 inch in diameter. Refrigerate until ready to cook. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it.
- Cook meatballs in water for about 5 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm. Cook pasta in same water until tender but not mushy. Meanwhile, in a medium pot cook butter and sage together until butter is light brown, about 5 minutes.
- Before draining pasta, reserve a bit of its cooking water. Drain pasta, then toss it with butter-sage mixture and enough reserved water to make it saucy. Top with meatballs and serve, passing grated Parmesan at the table.
