Ingredients - Butternut Squash Ravioli
Ravioli (above)
1 Cube Unsalted Butter
4-6 Italian Almond Biscotti broken into small pieces
10-12 Fresh Sage Leaves
Italian Parsley to garnish
Instructions - Butternut Squash Ravioli
- Boil a large pot of water and salt like the sea.
- In a separate, small pot, melt 1 cube of unsalted butter on a low heat until it browns. Add about 8-10 fresh sage leaves and let cook with butter.
- Place biscotti in Ziplock bag and pound them with a spoon or something heavy to break them into small pieces and set aside.
- Once water is boiling, carefully place the ravioli in the water (you can do this in batches if you have a lot).
- Put a frying pan on another burner and heat while ravioli are cooking on Med/High. Once ravioli are almost ready, add a little of the browned butter and sage to the hot pan.
- Let boil until dough is al dente, well cooked with a little bit of a bite.
- Take ravioli out with a slotted spoon and add a serving at a time to the frying pan and let brown on each side, just about a minute max on each side.
- Pour out of pan onto plate, add a little more butter and sage sauce, sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese and biscotti. Top with Italian Parsley and enjoy.
