Ravioli with Pine Nuts

It's been so long since I last posted a recipe that I'm pretty sure you think all we eat is take-out. (Actually, with all the remodel/renovation/cleaning, that's not too far from the truth...) But, we have tried a few new recipes recently. This ravioli dish was definitely a keeper!

Ravioli with Pine Nuts
20 oz frozen cheese-filled ravioli
4 T butter
1/4 c fresh chopped sage
2-3 cloves garlic (chopped or crushed)
1/4 c toasted pine nuts
2-3 chopped tomatoes
fresh basil
1/4 c grated parmesan

1. Start bringing a large pot of salted water to boil.
2. Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a dry pan. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the ravioli according to package instructions.
4. Melt the butter, then add the sage and garlic. Saute a bit until the butter is infused with the sage.
5. Chop up the tomatoes and tear up the basil.
6. Drain the ravioli. Drizzle with sage butter, garnish with pine nuts, basil, tomato, and parmesan.

Note: You can also make this recipe marginally healthier (or just easier to make, if you don't have any sage on hand) by drizzling with a bit of olive oil (rather than with the sage-infused butter) before garnishing and serving.

Enjoy!
