Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 cups roasted)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 5 fresh sage leaves
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve the butternut squash, scoop out the seeds, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast cut-side down on a lined baking sheet for 30-35 minutes until tender.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sage leaves; sauté until fragrant (about 2 minutes), ensuring not to burn the garlic.
  3. Once cooled, scoop out the roasted squash flesh and blend it with the sautéed garlic-sage mixture and heavy cream until smooth.
  4. Return the blended sauce to the skillet over low heat. Stir in grated Parmesan until melted and combined.
  5. Cook your ravioli as directed on the package. Drain and toss gently in the sauce before serving.
