Ravioli with Brown Butter Sauce in under an hour?
With just a few speedy shortcuts, we have this homemade pasta dish on the table in less than an hour. Instead of making fresh pasta from scratch, we used store-bought wonton wrappers. Buying shredded Parmesan also shaves a few minutes off the total time.

Prune Ravioli with Brown Butter and Sage
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup part skim ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup about 3 ounces finely chopped pitted Prunes
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 wonton wrappers 3 x 3 inches each
- 1 egg white lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup 1/2 stick butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage 4 to 6 leaves
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Prunes, parmesan cheese, garlic, and pepper. Set aside.
- For each ravioli, brush edges of 1 wonton wrapper with egg white. Place 2 teaspoons prune mixture onto center. Fold diagonally in half to form a triangle; seal edges, pressing to remove any air pockets. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers. Refrigerate on wax paper-lined baking sheet up to 2 hours or until ready to cook.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, cook butter and sage over medium-high heat until butter begins to brown. Remove from heat and keep warm. In a large saucepan, add half of the ravioli to boiling water. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until tender. Using a slotted spoon, place ravioli in individual serving bowls. Repeat with remaining ravioli. Drizzle each serving with sage butter. Enjoy!
