Pan Fried Ravioli with Brown Butter Herb Sauce

Pan Fried Ravioli with Browned Butter Herb Sauce www.bellalimento.com

I’m not going to lie.  The Homemade Roasted Carrot Ravioli with Mascarpone Thyme Filling I shared earlier this month are the best ravioli I’ve made to date and I hope you do give them a try. The finishing touch to those babies was the simple brown butter herb sauce that accompanies it. It’s quick, simple and IF you already happen to have a batch of ravioli in the freezer (because honestly if you’re going to take the time to make homemade ravioli why not double it and freeze some. You’ll thank yourself later when the craving hits.)  it comes together in no time at all. Fast food at it’s finest.

I think you’ll like this sauce so much you’ll be trying it out on different types of pastas or eating it with a spoon. I don’t recommend that but I couldn’t blame you if you did. Once your sauce is all tan and gorgeous you’ll carefully add the drained ravioli (drain it please water and hot butter don’t really go too well together) to the party. They’ll get a little crispy and golden and get your taste buds on a tare. I know you’re going to want to shove them into your mouth immediately but wait. There’s nothing sexy about sticking your tongue out with a ravioli on it because it’s too hot to eat. Don’t ask me how I know.

Once you’ve plated the ravioli and admired their beauty, finish them with a delicate drizzle of lemon infused olive oil. Don’t get heavy handed a little goes a long way. You don’t want the ravioli to taste like furniture polish.

Lemon and thyme it’s a natural combination and well butter it goes with just about anything. Brown it and fry it up with perfect pillows of ravioli and you’ve got yourself a special little dish.

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to check my freezer to see if there are any ravioli left. I suddenly have a craving.

    Ooh, my mouth is watering! It’s still on my bucket list to make some homemade pasta. I’m sure when I do, I’ll only want to dress it with something simple like this sauce. So pinning for later!

    I have never made homemade ravioli, but I love restaurants that do. However this simple sauce that utilizes one of my basic cooking tenets—everything is better with butter—-will make even frozen raviolis taste
    good.

    When I was a kid, I thought all ravioli were boiled to death. Don’t get me wrong, I still ate them, but fried ravioli is where my heart is. This is, as all your photos are, absolutely stunning!

    I made the carrot ravioli with my hubby on Friday night and it was amazing!!!! We were both pleasantly surprised, considering the dough became tough after we messed up with the pasta roller. I’m already planning on making it for book club in two weeks time, cause I know it’s going to rock everyone’s socks off!!
