Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 oz pumpkin puree (about 2/3 of a standard can)
  • 1 ½ cups half & half
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced
  • ¾ cup fresh Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Pasta

  • 20 oz store-bought fresh cheese ravioli (such as RANA brand), cooked according to package instructions

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter and Sauté Garlic: In a pan over low heat, melt the butter thoroughly. Add the minced garlic and stir occasionally, cooking for 3-5 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned to avoid bitterness.
  2. Add Pumpkin Puree: Increase the heat to medium-low and incorporate the pumpkin puree into the pan. Stir to combine the butter, garlic, and pumpkin evenly and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Incorporate Half & Half: Slowly pour in the half & half while whisking continuously to create a smooth, creamy sauce without lumps.
  4. Season the Sauce: Stir in the minced fresh rosemary, grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Increase the heat to medium and bring the sauce to a gentle low boil.
  5. Simmer the Sauce: Once boiling gently, reduce the heat back to low and let the sauce simmer briefly to thicken slightly and develop its rich flavor.
  6. Combine with Ravioli and Serve: Add the cooked cheese ravioli directly into the pumpkin cream sauce. Gently mix until each ravioli is well coated with the sauce. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh Parmigiano Reggiano for the best flavor and texture in the sauce.
  • Be careful not to overcook the garlic to avoid bitterness.
  • Store-bought fresh ravioli is recommended to keep preparation quick, but fresh homemade ravioli can be used as well.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste after adding the cheese to balance the seasoning.
  • This recipe serves one, so multiply ingredients as needed to serve more guests.
