Ingredients
- 1 25-oz. bag frozen cheese ravioli
- 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 12 oz. peeled and seeded butternut squash cut into 1/2" pieces (about 2 1/2 cups)
- Salt and pepper
- 4 cups torn curly kale leaves
- 3 Tbsp. thinly sliced fresh sage
- 1/3 cup glazed or honey-roasted pecans roughly chopped
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- 1. Cook ravioli according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain ravioli and set both aside.
- 2. Meanwhile, place butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and cover tightly with a lid or piece of parchment and a plate (do not use plastic wrap). Microwave 2 minutes, then continue microwaving in 30-second bursts until butter is browned and smells nutty; set aside.
- 3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add squash, season with salt and pepper, and spread into a single layer. Cook without stirring until bottom of squash is golden brown, about 4 minutes. Gently stir and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until squash is lightly caramelized and tender but not mushy, 8 to 10 more minutes.
- 4. Stir in kale and sage and cook until kale is wilted, about 4 minutes. Add ravioli, browned butter, and 3/4 cup pasta water and toss to coat, adding more pasta water as necessary to loosen sauce; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5. Divide mixture among four plates and sprinkle evenly with nuts; serve with grated cheese on the side.
