Dish of the Week: Butternut Squash Ravioli

 

Like all BLACKBARN pasta, our ravioli is house-made from fresh ingredients.

The pasta is filled with a butternut squash purée that is mixed with ground amaretto cookies, sharp parmigiano cheese and nutmeg.

Ravioli is a traditional Italian dish dating back to the 14th century. Our butternut squash ravioli adds a slightly sweet twist to the instantly recognizable dish. It is believed that the word ravioli is from an old Italian word, riavvolgere, which means “to wrap.”

Once the pasta is prepared, it only takes eight minutes to cook. While the pasta boils, buttery sage sauce is heated in a saucepan.

In another pan, BLACKBARN chefs sautée swiss chard. By the time the chard is cooked, the ravioli is ready for serving.
