Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe featuring frozen cheese ravioli tossed in a rich, nutty brown butter sage sauce with a splash of cream, perfect for busy weeknights or last-minute dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz frozen cheese ravioli
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10–12 fresh sage leaves
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (about 4 quarts water and 1 tablespoon salt).
  2. Cook the frozen ravioli according to package instructions, usually 4-5 minutes until they float and are tender. Stir gently occasionally.
  3. While ravioli cooks, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Let it foam and turn golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add fresh sage leaves to the browned butter and crisp them quickly. If using garlic, add now and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Drain the ravioli carefully using a slotted spoon and transfer directly to the skillet with the brown butter and sage sauce. Toss gently to coat.
  6. Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently to combine, warming through for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Watch the butter closely when browning to avoid burning; swirl the pan gently instead of stirring for even browning. Add cream after tossing ravioli to keep sauce rich and velvety. Use unsalted butter to control salt level. Fresh sage crisps up nicely and adds herbal aroma. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently with a splash of cream or water.
