Transform a simple weeknight dinner into an Italian-inspired dish with this Brown Butter Sage Sauce recipe with ravioli. Made with just six ingredients, this sauce has minimal prep time but delivers rich, layered flavours. As the butter turns golden and releases its nutty aroma, fresh sage leaves crisp up, infusing the sauce with a warm, earthy fragrance that instantly awakens the senses.
The perfect pairing for this golden, nutty and subtly herbaceous sauce are none other than Nonna’s ricotta and spinach ravioli.
If you’re short on time, on the other hand, store-bought ravioli, like butternut squash ravioli or pumpkin ravioli will work too. Just make sure to choose a mild filling so it doesn’t overpower the beautiful sauce. Choose quality ravioli too – check the ingredients, there shouldn’t be too many.
The Star Ingredients: Butter and SageThe star of this dish is the butter, gently cooked until golden brown to release a rich, nutty aroma and flavour. If you feel as though it might be heavy, you can use unsalted butter to keep it lighter (it has less sodium too). The fresh herbs aroma from the sage is one of a kind and when eaten with a bite of the ravioli smothered in the sauce you will immediately understand the pairing.
Topped with a generous sprinkle of Pecorino—because cheese makes everything even better—this dish is heavenly.

===============================================

INGREDIENTS:
Premade Ravioli Nonna’s recipe https://youtu.be/lwc_VBbbCkw?si=4eUGdA5OP48-TW5v
200 g / 7oz organic grass-fed butter
Fresh sage leaves small bunch
Lemon zest
Pistachios crushed
Parmesan or Pecorino grated

METHOD:
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.
4. 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.
5. Remove from heat, then add the grated Pecorino, crushed pistachios, and lemon zest. Toss everything together or use a spoon to gently stir.

HOW TO SERVE:
Start by scooping a spoonful of brown butter sauce onto a flat plate, letting it coat the bottom. Sprinkle some Pecorino or Parmesan, then place the ravioli on top. Add more sage leaves, extra grated pecorino, lemon zest, and crushed pistachios to finish. Finally, drizzle butter sauce over the top for an extra glossy finish and a touch of black pepper.

  1. Ravioli with a pumpkin filling in the brown butter and sage sauce was a classic Thanksgiving dish for my expat Thanksgivings when I lived in Italy.

  2. I love the sage butter sauce, as well as the addition of the brightness of lemon zest and pistachio richness! Watching you eat that at the end was pure torture for me! Another winner!🎉

  3. Important lessons learnt from Vincenzo before and in this video:

    Make the sauce before you cook the pasta 🙂

  4. Fantastic recipe! Loved the twist of lemon and pistachio. But I would always use Parmigiano Reggiano. I always have the suspicion that you would use Pecorino Romano in a dessert if you had a chance!

  5. this is a wonderful dish! I had this just a few days ago. Unfortunately, it is already frosty here at night and the taste of my sage in the garden suffers from it. I like the idea with the lemon zest. I'll try that next time. 👍

  6. When the ravioli only takes 3min to cook, I never bother cooking it in a seperate pan. Just put it in the sauce and let it boil there.

  7. Now buy up an old ice cream van. Turn it into a magic ravioli wagon and stop outside my house playing the jingle and I will buy some! 😀

  8. The butter looks blonde – it’s normally cooked darker than that 🤷‍♀️ Cooked it many times. 👍 Tastes great! 😋

  9. This recipe is beautiful! You know Vincenzo, I would love to see how you make acqua pazza 🍅🐟💦

  10. Good timing!!! Just yesterday, I invented “my own” sage-butter-parmesan- gnocchi” dish. I purchased delicious homemade gnocchi at the local farmers market, used all ingredients you presented, and added delicious thinly sliced prosciutto … hmmmm … a slice of heaven !!! I’ll try your recipe next. Thank you so much.
