Ravioli With Spicy Sage Butter

sauces/dips

1 pound ricotta and spinach ravioli
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter; room temperature
16 fresh sage leaves, chopped
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup grated pecorino romano

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the
ravioli
and boil gently, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Drain and place
in
a serving bowl.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage,
paprika, and pepper flakes. Cook until the butter sizzles and begins
to brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in
the salt.
Pour the butter sauce over the pasta and gently toss until coated.
Sprinkle with cheese and serve.

That sounds wonderful, Koko. Do you suppose it would work with fresh
basil instead of sage in the sauce? A bit of white wine wouldn't hurt,
either, since 1/4 cup butter doesn't go very far.

Thanks for the idea! I have had a craving for gnudi lately (recipes
abound, but I'll use the Giada recipe) and I think I'll use the brown
butter sage sauce instead of marinara this time. Lord knows I have
sage galore in my garden and should use it more often.

Gloria, I think those changes would definitely work and sounds
wonderful.
They aren't swimming in the sauce, it's enough to flavor about a dozen
ravioli.

That sounds good! I'll try it when the sage comes in in the spring.

I ask not to start an argument, but because you're likely to have a
sensible answer: why kosher salt? The difference between kosher salt
and table salt is the shape of the grains. Once the salt is dissolved,
that difference vanishes. All salt is kosher.

To be kosher, meat that is not broiled must be coated with salt and
left to stand while the "blood" is drawn out, before it is cooked.
Salt in flake form is much easier to use for that, hence "kosher"
salt. It should properly be called "koshering salt", but it's not.
((We don't say "iced cream" or "popped corn" either.)
