Provided by á-23163

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 T. butter per serving
1 T. olive oil per serving
fresh basil to taste (I used about 1/4 c. per serving)
1-2 T. walnut pieces per serving
cheese ravioli, amount to your liking/appetite per serving
parmesan cheese

Steps:

Have water boiling for pasta when you start the sauce. In sauce pan, heat butter over medium high heat and cook until browned. Add olive oil and reduce heat. Toss ravioli in boiling water; toss walnuts into butter to brown lightly. Fresh pasta only takes a few minutes to cook so watch carefully. As you're draining the ravioli, throw the basil in the sauce just to wilt. Plate ravioli and pour sauce over. Pass parmesan separately. Other ideas: if you like more sauce on your pasta, try adding some chicken or vegetable broth to the sauce just long enough to heat -- a few tablespoons per serving. Try different herbs -- rosemary or sage are both excellent. Try different ravioli -- sweet potato or winter squash are good with sage.
