Ravioli with Spicy Sage Butter

By barbaran

Ingredients

• 1 pound ricotta and spinach ravioli
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 16 fresh sage leaves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1/2 cup grated pecorino romano

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the ravioli and boil gently, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Drain and place in a serving bowl.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage, paprika, and pepper flakes. Cook until the butter sizzles and begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the salt. Pour the butter sauce over the pasta and gently toss until coated. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.
