I’ve been waiting all September to share this recipe. I promised no pumpkin until October. And aside from that pumpkin cream cold brew, I really did mean it. But, it’s now October, so bring on every last pumpkin recipe from now through November. I have so many ideas!! This ravioli is the perfect way to welcome October and the official start to pumpkin season!
This pumpkin ravioli is easy – start with the ravioli
For the ravioli, you’ll need a good pumpkin and cheese ravioli. I recommend the Trader Joe’s pumpkin ravioli. They roast the pumpkin with a little honey and it’s such a delicious store-bought option! Since we don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby, I opted to make my own ravioli. You can of course do this too. But if you want a super quick dinner, use the TJ pumpkin ravioli. For my homemade ravioli oil, I made a pumpkin pasta dough. I then made a honey’d pumpkin cheese filling with a mix of ricotta cheese, gouda, and a small amount of honey – to play up the sweetness. So delicious. Either homemade or store-bought, the ravioli will be delicious. Do what works best for you!
Onto the sage butter sauce
I love a simple sage butter sauce in the fall, it’s so easy to make, and so delicious. You’ll need butter, walnuts, fresh sage, and a splash of either apple cider or white wine. Cook the butter, walnuts, and sage together until the sage leaves are crispy and the walnuts are toasted. I like to remove the sage leaves so they stay crisp, and then add the splash of cider or wine. I love how the cider pairs with the flavors of the pumpkin, but wine is great too. Then simmer the sauce and toss in the ravioli. I like to let the ravioli sit in the sauce and really soak it up for a minute or so.
Now serve it up
Serve the ravioli and sauce with lots of fresh manchego cheese plus all those crispy sage leaves. Then enjoy! It’s every bit as delicious as it sounds. If you’re using store-bought ravioli, or have homemade frozen ravioli on hand, this entire meal will come together in well under thirty minutes, making it perfect for any night of the week. Whether you need a quick weeknight meal, or just a fun Saturday dinner party dish, this recipe accommodates. And with that, happy Monday, and happy October! Really hoping this recipe brings you guys some much-needed pumpkin goodness this week. A little cheesy, but also just how I am feeling. Livin’ up every minute of autumn!
