For the Ravioli:
  • 1 cup • ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup • fresh spinach, chopped and sautéed
  • 1/4 cup • grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 • egg yolk
  • • Salt and pepper to taste
  • • Fresh pasta dough (or store-bought ravioli)
    • For the Sage Butter Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup • unsalted butter
  • 8 fresh • 8-10 sage leaves
  • • Salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, sautéed spinach, grated Parmesan, egg yolk, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Fill the Ravioli: Roll out the pasta dough on a floured surface. Place small mounds of the filling on one sheet of pasta, cover with another sheet, and press to seal. Cut into individual ravioli.
  3. Cook the Ravioli: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ravioli until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  4. Make the Sage Butter Sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter is golden brown and the sage is crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt.
  5. Serve: Toss the cooked ravioli in the sage butter sauce and serve immediately.
