Ingredients

  • 20 oz ravioli
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 8 leaves sage leaves
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the 20 oz ravioli and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 3-5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.

  2. 2

    While the ravioli cooks, melt the 3 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 8 sage leaves and 2 minced garlic cloves, cooking until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour in the 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the drained ravioli to the skillet along with 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss gently to coat the ravioli in the sauce.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and stir in the 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with the 1 tsp black pepper and salt to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve immediately, garnished with extra black pepper and fresh microgreens if desired.
