Pumpkin Ravioli With Sage Brown Butter

This cozy fall recipe combines store-bought pumpkin ravioli with a luxurious sage brown butter sauce that I make in just 25 minutes. I start by boiling the ravioli until they float, while simultaneously browning butter with fresh sage leaves in a separate skillet until it’s golden and nutty. Once the ravioli is done, I toss it in the fragrant brown butter sauce and top it with toasted walnuts and grated Parmesan cheese. I love serving this elegant dish with crusty sourdough bread and a crisp Pinot Grigio for a restaurant-worthy meal at home. Let’s explore how to make this sophisticated yet simple dish your new favorite.

What to Serve With This Recipe

I’ll help you create the perfect accompaniments for your homemade pumpkin ravioli, starting with a crisp apple cabbage slaw that adds wonderful crunch to every bite.

Complementing this, you might consider serving a delightful creamy soup like White Lasagna Soup that carries similar comforting flavors.

When it comes to wine, I love pairing this dish with a light Pinot Grigio or buttery Chardonnay that won’t overpower the delicate pumpkin flavor.

There’s nothing better than serving this alongside some warm, crusty sourdough bread that’s perfect for soaking up every last bit of sauce.

Side Salad Ideas

Fresh salad pairings can transform your pumpkin ravioli from a simple pasta dish into a complete dining experience.

I love adding a crispy apple cabbage slaw for texture, or try my favorite arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette.

For something more substantial, I’ll toss together a roasted beet salad with goat cheese or a hearty quinoa mix with butternut squash and cranberries.

Complementary Wine Pairings

Along with this delectable pumpkin ravioli, you’ll want to select the perfect wine to enhance your dining experience.

I love how a crisp Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with the sage butter and brown butter sauce.

If you’re a red wine fan, try a light-bodied red wine like Pinot Noir.

For something special, I recommend Prosecco’s bubbles or a late harvest Riesling’s seasonal flavors.

Crusty Bread Options

When it comes to serving pumpkin ravioli, crusty bread isn’t just an accompaniment – it’s essential for savoring every last drop of that delicious sage brown butter sauce.

I love offering a variety of options, from tangy sourdough to herb-infused focaccia. For an extra special touch, I’ll serve the bread with herb-infused olive oil for dipping.

The contrasting textures and complementary flavors create the perfect dining experience.
