A cozy and easy homemade dinner featuring butternut squash ravioli tossed in a nutty brown butter sage sauce, perfect for quick weeknight meals or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 600 g) peeled, seeded, and cubed butternut squash
  • 12 fresh sage leaves, whole
  • 6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 package (about 12 oz or 340 g) fresh or frozen butternut squash ravioli
  • ¼ cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss peeled, cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and caramelized. (Skip if using pre-made ravioli with filling.)
  2. While squash roasts, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently as butter foams and browns, about 4-5 minutes, until golden and nutty. Add fresh sage leaves and crisp for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook ravioli according to package instructions (3-4 minutes or until they float). Use a slotted spoon to transfer ravioli to the skillet with brown butter sage sauce.
  4. Gently toss ravioli in the sauce to coat evenly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Drizzle honey or maple syrup if desired.
  5. Serve immediately, sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese. Optionally, garnish with toasted pine nuts or chopped toasted walnuts.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. Use a light-colored pan and moderate heat. Fresh sage crisps best in brown butter; dried sage is not recommended. Roasting the squash ahead saves time. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly.
