Butternut Squash Ravioli In Browned Butter

Butternut Squash Ravioli in Browned Butter~ Want a dinner ready in under 30 minutes, 4 ingredients, and only 7 weight watchers points?

This is the one for you.

This Butternut Squash Ravioli was so fast to prepare I had dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes!

I admit the ravioli were already prepared, but to be honest, I don’t have the time to make my own noodles, stuff them and run them through my Kitchen Aid.

While boiling the noodles actually took the longest amount of time, the browned butter sauce with the cranberries and pecans were quick to make.

Add a bit of thyme and voila!

Dinner is on the table.

Serve with a nice salad, garlic bread, and a green veggie and spend your time saved drinking some nice Red Wine! My kind of meal.

These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:

  • 1/2 lb package fresh or frozen butternut squash ravioli about 24 ravioli
  • 4 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup pecans roughly chopped
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme leaves removed and chopped
  • Sea salt & black pepper to taste
  • 4 tsp parmesan cheese as topping optional.

These are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • Prepare ravioli according to the packaged instructions salting the water.
  • While the ravioli cook, melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the cranberries and pecans cooking until the butter browns, about 3 minutes. Stir in thyme and remove from heat.
  • Drain ravioli and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess water. Toss in the browned butter cranberry pecan sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide into 4 bowls, top with parmesan if using and enjoy!
  • Makes 4 large servings, 7 points each

We love squash prepared in many different ways.

And ravioli is just one. I have a more traditional recipe also on the blog.

But I love to make a brown butter sauce.

And it is so easy to prepare even a novice cook can pull it off.

Just melt the butter in a skillet that isn;t too hot and cook for 3 minutes.

Just remember the temperature of the pan should not be too hot.

You just need to pay attention and lower the heat if it starts to burn or smoke.

The addition of the cranberries in this recipe is what take this Butternut Squash RaviolI over the top.

It dish will appear to your family as if you slaved all day over the hot stove.

But you will know that the ravioli was premade and you made the sauce!

The hardest part of dinner was setting the table.

And I am sure someone else will get up and wash the dishes. Just give them that “mom” look!
