Simple, elegant comfort food. Notes of nutmeg and creamy Gorgonzola get you ready for fall.
In a microwave safe measuring cup or bowl add squash and water. Cover with plastic wrap and place in microwave and cook for 3 minutes. Remove and stir, being careful of steam when removing plastic. Re-cover, return to microwave and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove, uncover and mash with a fork.
Heat butter or oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add ravioli and brown lightly on both sides. Remove from pan and keep warm.
Add squash, cream, Gorgonzola, nutmeg and sage (if using). Stir well to dissolve cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add ravioli back to pan and coat with sauce, or plate ravioli and pour sauce over.
Garnish with chopped parsley (if using).
For a heartier entrée, add 1/4 cup of cooked chopped bacon, pancetta, prosciutto, ham, plant-based meats or chopped walnuts. This dish would also work with goat cheese instead of Gorgonzola.
