Instructions

  • COOK THE RAVIOLI: Cook the ravioli in a large pot of boiling salted water as per the packet instructions, usually 8-10 minutes.
  • MELT THE BUTTER: While the ravioli is cooking, heat the butter in a saucepan, stirring until melted. Continue cooking for 3 minutes until turning lightly golden.
  • ADD THE FLAVOURING: Stir through the garlic, rosemary, parsley, stock powder, nuts and lemon zest and continue cooking gently for 3-4 minutes until the butter is a nutty brown and smelling wonderfully aromatic. Add a splash of white wine and a couple of spoons of pasta cooking water and bring to a simmer.
  • DRAIN THE PASTA AND SERVE: Drain the pasta and divide between four warmed plates. Spoon the butter sauce generously over the pasta, squeeze over a little lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Grate over fresh Parmesan cheese just before serving.
