When I bought the Costco Rana Giovanni Butternut Squash Ravioli, I had no idea what kind of sauce to serve with it. After a quick google search I determined that brown butter sage sauce is recommended. I wanted to post the recipe in case you’re also unsure what sauce to make! This would make a super awesome fall or winter appetizer if you’re the dinner hosting type. I’ve never hosted an “official dinner party” but I watch enough Real Housewives of Orange County/Beverly Hills to know what they’re about.
Ingredients:
1 package of Costco Giovanni Rana Butternut Squash Ravioli
3 tbsp salted butter
8 sage leaves chopped
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Directions:
- In a saucepan melt the butter over medium high heat, when the butter starts to turn a light amber or slightly darker yellow, add your sage. When the butter starts to turn dark amber and you see small brown flecks and it starts to smell a little nutty, remove the saucepan from heat. Try not to let it burn.
- Meanwhile cook Costco Giovanni Rana Butternut Squash Ravioli according to package directions.
- When your ravioli is finished cooking, spoon a small amount of brown butter sage sauce on top and sprinkle with Parmesan. I prefer to spoon it on top. Some people prefer to toss all of their pasta in the sauce before serving.
Any questions!? Let me know!
I also made a sauce using butter and sage, but added pecans, and a small amount of wine, pinot Grigio. It was very yummy! I did not add the Parmesan cheese. I also seasoned the sauce with a small amount of garlic and herbs.
I have used the Marinara sauce from Metro/Basics, Irresistible brand for over 25 years and they have now discontinued it. A friend of mine suggested to try one of the marinara sauces that Costco sells called Victoria, White Linen Collection. It’s not 100% as good, probably 95%.
