Ravioli Butter and Sage
This Brown Butter Sage Sauce recipe brings together tender ravioli coated in a rich, golden butter sauce with crispy sage. Fragrant lemon zest and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios add a refreshing twist and delicate crunch. Topped with freshly grated Parmigiano cheese or Pecorino, it’s a simple yet elegant dish that feels Michelin-star worthy, but only takes minutes to make. The sauce is so good you’ll find yourself scraping the bottom of the pan for more!

Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- Premade Ravioli (Nonna's recipe)
- 200 g / 7oz organic grass-fed butter
- Fresh sage leaves (small bunch)
- Lemon zest
- Pistachios (crushed)
- Parmesan or Pecorino (grated)
Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil on high-heat, then add 1 large teaspoon of rock salt and allow it to dissolve. Add in the ravioli of choice and cook according to the package instructions - or taste test until al-dente if homemade. Quickly stir to prevent the ravioli from sticking together.
- 2
While the ravioli are cooking, use a grater to zest the lemon and set aside.
- 3
Heat a large pan and melt the butter over medium-low heat. Gradually add the fresh sage leaves and stir with a wooden ladle. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the butter from burning.

Once the ravioli are ready, strain them and add directly to the pan with the butter and sage sauce. Give them a gentle toss to ensure each one is well coated.

Remove from heat, then add the grated Pecorino, crushed pistachios, and lemon zest. Toss everything together or use a spoon to gently stir.
