Ingredients

• 16 oz Ravioli (store-bought or homemade)
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tbsp Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions, or until tender if using homemade ravioli. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the ravioli and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until the butter melts and begins to foam.

Step 3

Add the sage leaves to the skillet and fry them for about 1-2 minutes, or until crisp. Remove the leaves with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, letting the mixture gently simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Add the cooked ravioli to the skillet and gently toss to coat them with the sauce.

Step 9

Serve the ravioli immediately, garnished with the crispy sage leaves and an additional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
