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.

Your ravioli look soooo good!!!
Thanks!
Getting fancy!
The most Italian thing in the World is ravioli dancing in the pan! Grazie, Enzo! È ora si mangia! ❤🇮🇹❤
Sounds, feels, and smells like a Christmas ravioli. Delicious.
Grazie Don Vincenzo, sei mittico!
Yes , a very humble ravioli !! ❤🥺🤌
My mouth is already watering.
Now I know what I'm going to cook tomorrow.
By the way:
I bought COLATURA DI ALICI a few weeks ago and have already experimented with it a little.
Even if you're not a big fan of anchovies, as you mentioned in one of your videos, could you perhaps make a video about pasta or similar with COLATURA DE ALICI?
Max Mariola has made some videos about it, but unfortunately only in Italian.
Greetings from Berlin, Germany

When you use the grater for lemon zest the tool goes on the top , ask Chef Jean Perri lol
I have stopped using sea salt and only use rock salt. The oceans are not clean anymore…
What kind of person only eats five ravioli?
Again a great video! I have a good video for a review, i don’t know how els to submit it: https://youtu.be/lXEtC3Y9sqY?si=-cNMAcadTHOz7eS_
5 Ravioli per person??
I think i need at least 15. 😅
I need to make these Raviolis, they look really good.
❤❤ So Beautiful ❤❤
I think i have never had sage it's a little bitter from what I have heard 🤔
Oh, for lunch I ate a quattro stagioni 🍕 pizza! And now this dish… I would like for jump in the screen to eat some.
Thank you very much, Vincenzo, for sharing your recipe video with us,
Hey Vincenzo.
I have a video suggestion for you.
You are one of the few people on youtube that I fully trust when it comes to italian food.
An educational video.
Different hard cheese and their differences and where they are best to use.
Asiago D’allevo
Grana Padano
Pecorino Romano
Parmigiano-Reggiano
And maybe an bonus info about the same cheese but from different region like Picorino.
Hello and thanks from Denmark.
ps. I hope hou do a video of gluten-free pasta too.
❤
Vincenzo I love the simple yet extremely good looking recipes you make. I am definitely going to make it. Thank you.
Look really delicious!! I have a challenge for you: Make a tomato sauce, then finish one part with chopped basil (chiffonade) en one part with basil torn by hand. Now, do a taste test blindfolded. Can you taste the difference?
Cheers Vincenzo looks like a winner winner ravioli dinner
Buongiorno ! Scusami, it's not about your video but I was wondering about a bolognese ragù I made. The idea was "how would people from a long time ago make it ?" So I cooked pork and beef in a pan in the oven for 6 hours with carrots, celeri, onions and tomatoes, turned the meats into pulled pork and pulled beef and finished cooking everything on the stove on low heat for another hour. Salt and pepper, of course. Does it make any sense ? How would you have done such a thing ?
I should try this finish with tortelli piacentini as I’m from Piacenza. I think they will be even more perfect 😍
What is in inside bubble
So simple, so delicius.
I try your recept the next time.
And a Little tip for all people they cant get Pistatches, try some wallnuts/ pinenuts or hazelnuts and do lightly toastet in a pan before sprinkle over the meal on plate.
7:11 the sound of love
Vincenzo never disappoints! Neh-vah!!! 🤌
Pls tell me I'm not the only one eating for 2 persons
Vincenzo's Plate, it harmful to waterbath Pesto in jars to seal? I dont want to freeze anymore, no more room in my deep freezer nor my freezer and Ive made a bunch
GOD bless your Nonna ✝️🤍italian food at its simplicity best!❤
