Fresh pasta, butternut squash filling, fresh sage in browned butter, balsamic reduction, freshly grated parmesan cheese.
A delicious Autumn dish!
Post post 1/23/08: I had a request for the recipe here. This is store-bought, high quality, fresh ravioli filled with butternut squash. Cook to al dente in salted water. Meanwhile, melt butter then saute sage leaves in the browned butter, it takes about one minute per side, drain them on paper towels. Gently toss the drained pasta in the browned butter, salt if desired. Plate the ravioli then drizzle balsamic reduction (you can buy this or reduce your own balsamic vinegar to a syrup), top with the sage leaves, and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Very easy and very delicious!

[...] Italian Renaissance theme, I imagine dining here on a crusty Ciabatta and a nice Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage Browned Butter and Balsamic Reduction. Washed down with a glass of 1996 [...]
Oh, my. That looks incredible. What a wonderful way to use sage, and your pasta — wow. This is inspiring me to get on the stick with ordering the pasta machine I’ve been meaning to get since I went to a pasta-making workshop . . . in the spring!
Hi Ronell and Simona – it is a classic, one of my favorites, too. I am on this balsamic reduction kick, it really complemented the dish.
My favorite type of ravioli. I have never had them with balsamic reduction, though: it sounds quite interesting.
I love pasta combined with butternut and even sweet potatoes…it looks good and tastes out of this world and of course, fresh sage is just a given!

Marie – the balsamic really does add a nice balance to the butter sauce
The Balsamic reduction definately kicks it up a notch!!! Yummmm
Hi Maryann and Cynthia – We are on this “Octoberfest’ menu. Love Autumn!
This is fit to be served for people to be charged a price for consuming.
This is a wonderful dish that screams “Fall”.
