Pumpkin Ravioli with Truffle Maple Syrup Sauce

 

Serves 2

Ingredients

3 tablespoons hazelnuts, halved
1/2 lb fresh pumpkin ravioli
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 sage leaves, lightly torn
1 tablespoon Truffle Maple Syrup
Truffle Salt, to garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F degrees. Spread hazelnuts evenly on a sheet pan and place into the oven, on the middle rack. Toast for 5 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove from oven, set aside to cool. 
2. In a large saucepan of salted boiling water, carefully add the pumpkin ravioli. Cook for about 3 minutes, or according to package directions. Carefully remove ravioli and drain the water. Transfer ravioli to a plate, and set aside. 
3. In the same saucepan over medium heat, add the butter and sage leaves. Melt the butter until slightly brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the truffle maple syrup. Add the cooked ravioli to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. 
4. Plate ravioli, sprinkle toasted hazelnuts, a touch of truffle salt, and serve immediately. 

Bonus: shave fresh truffles on top to further enhance this dish. We sliced 3 grams, but you can certainly add more!
