How To Make butternut squash ravioli with brown sugar and sage

  • Step 1
    Prepare pasta as directed on package and drain.
  • Step 2
    While pasta cooks, start the sauce. Have all the ingredients ready as this comes together quickly.
  • Step 3
    Using a large wide sauce pan or skillet, toast pecans with cranberries on medium heat until just fragrant.
  • Step 4
    Reduce heat to low, add butter and stir.
  • Step 5
    Add brown sugar, salt cayenne and sage. Stir until butter is completely melted.
  • Step 6
    Whisk in cream, add cooked ravioli and enjoy!
  • Step 7
    *** If you can't find butternut squash ravioli, you can always use the chicken ravioli, spinach or even the cheese ravioli and you will be just fine. I usually get mine at Sam's Club or Cub. If you are feeling energetic, you can always make your own.
