Directions for Fall Ravioli Dish
Let’s cook this Easy Pumpkin Ravioli Amaretto Cream Sauce—a cozy amaretto pasta treat!
Cook the Ravioli
I bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook 1 package pumpkin ravioli per package instructions (3–4 minutes for fresh, 5–6 for frozen) until al dente. I drain carefully, drizzle with a touch of olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside for this cozy pumpkin pasta.
Sauté Shallots and Apples
In a large skillet over medium heat, I melt 2 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp olive oil. I sauté 2 minced shallots until translucent (2–3 minutes), then add 1 peeled, thinly sliced apple, cooking until softened and lightly browned (3–4 minutes) for a fragrant fall ravioli dish.
Deglaze with Amaretto
I pour in 2 tbsp amaretto liqueur, stirring to deglaze the skillet, and let it reduce for 1–2 minutes to enhance the nutty flavor of this amaretto pasta treat.
Make the Cream Sauce
I add 1 cup heavy cream and ¼ cup golden raisins, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. I simmer on low for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and raisins plump for a silky cozy pumpkin pasta.
Season and Toss
I stir in 1 tsp amaretto, season with salt and pepper to taste, and toss in the cooked ravioli, coating gently. I serve immediately, garnished with ¼ cup toasted walnuts for crunch in this fall ravioli dish.
