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.
Here is a recipe for the more traditional Butternut Squash Ravioli. For more Meatless Meal ideas see Meatless Friday Meals During Lent
The ravioli cooked up perfectly al dente with the sweetness of the butternut squash followed by the richness of the butter and crunchy pecans and chewy cranberries.
- 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.
-
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

Well this looks amazing!! And confirms I made the right choice when I chose this exact meal for a Fall Foliage dinner train ride my husband and I will be going on at the end of the month.
Thanks for sharing so I can make this at home myself!
I loved the dinner train by me. They used to do a mystery one in the fall. Sadly it closed a few years back. I sure hope you enjoy the time. And the dinner! Have a peaceful week.

It is one of my husbands favorites. I tried pumpkin this week and it was wonderful!
Marilyn, This looks so yummy! I’ve never seen butternut squash in ravioli before, so I’m really going to have to keep my eyes open for it.
My husband likes this better than cheese. I made pumpkin ravioli this week. I will be posting it later! Thx for commenting.
This sounds like the perfect Fall weeknight dinner. I love the addition of cranberries and pecans–delish!
I added those as an afterthought to make my photo pop out more. It was so delicious and it added texture. Sometimes we hit on something by mistake!
Marilyn, this looks wonderful! I’m printing this one out and I’m definitely going to be using it. Yum!!!
