Ingredients
- 12 pieces Butternut squash ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 ounces Pancetta
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the ravioli while preparing the sauce.
Step 2
Dice the pancetta into small cubes.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pancetta with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 4
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, add the butter, and let it melt completely. Stir occasionally until it begins to brown slightly and release a nutty aroma, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the sage leaves to the browned butter, allowing them to fry for 30 seconds until crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the sage leaves and set them aside.
Step 6
Grate the garlic clove directly into the skillet with the remaining butter and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Add the ravioli to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
Step 8
Carefully transfer the drained ravioli to the skillet with the butter sauce. Add the reserved pasta water and toss gently to coat.
Step 9
Divide the ravioli among plates and top with the crispy pancetta, fried sage leaves, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy!
