    • Trader Joe's Pumpkin Ravioli with Fried Sage

    Ingredients

    • Pumpkin Ravioli - This is a seasonal ingredient I bought at Trader Joe's. Check your local grocery store for their seasonal pasta products.
    • Pumpkin Alfredo - The best sauce for pumpkin ravioli will be a cream based sauce or a brown butter sauce. For this recipe, use your favorite alfredo or creamy autumn harvest pasta sauce.
    • Fresh Sage
    • Mushrooms
    • Garlic
    • Walnut Parmesan
    Ingredients needed to make this recipe, pumpkin ravioli and a jar of alfredo sauce, are on a wooden table with an orange and blue fall towel.

    Walnut Parmesan

    Regular parmesan will work in a pinch, but I highly suggest topping this dish with a sprinkle of walnut parmesan. The mild, earthy flavor of walnuts pair well with other ingredients in this recipe to truly bring out the fall flavors.

    Ingredients needed:

    • Nutritional Yeast - This can be a strange ingredient if you've never used it before. My first impression was that it looks like 'fish food'. Don't let that scare you! It has a 'cheese-like' savory flavor making it a great alternative to cheese. Nutritional Yeast is a great source of protein and B vitamins.
    • Walnuts
    • Garlic powder

    How to Make Trader Joe's Pumpkin Ravioli

    This recipe for Trader Joes Pumpkin Ravioli with Fried Sage can be made quickly for an impressive meal any night of the week. First, put a large pot of salted water on the stove so it can start to boil.

    Next, in a small saucepan, melt butter and sauté mushrooms and garlic. Once the mushrooms are softened add Alfredo sauce and heat through.

    Now, it's time to make the vegan walnut parmesan. Add all the walnut parmesan ingredients to a small food processor. Pulse or grind the food processor until all the walnuts are crushed into crumbs. Store leftover parmesan in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.

    By this point, the pasta water should be boiling so add in the pumpkin ravioli. Ravioli doesn't take long to cook. Cook the pasta according to package directions and be careful not to overcook ravioli. If you overcook ravioli they will explode and lose all their delicious filling.

    If you're on the hunt for what to serve with ravioli you will tons of tasty sides in the recipe roundup.

    Pumpkin ravioli with alfredo sauce is on a blue plate. Whole fried sage leaves are on top of the pasta. A jar of walnut parmesan and a measuring spoon are on the side.

    How to Fry Sage

    Start by heating olive oil to medium high heat in a small skillet. Add one or two whole sage leaves at a time to start. It's a quick process so you'll need to keep your eye on it.

    Fry sage for about 10 seconds then flip. Fry the leaves an additional 10 seconds on the other side. You want the sage to turn bright green. If the leaf starts to turn yellow than the heat is up too high or you have left it in the skillet too long.

    Take the fried sage out of the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Sprinkle crispy sage with salt while they are still hot.

    • Pumpkin ravioli pairs well with a cream based sauce, so choose any creamy autumn harvest or alfredo sauce.
    • Regular parmesan will work in a pinch, but I suggest topping this dish with a sprinkle of walnut parmesan. The mild, earthy flavor of walnuts pair well with the other ingredients in this recipe and truly bring out the fall flavors.
    • When frying sage, you want the sage to turn bright green. If the leaf starts to turn yellow than the heat is up too high or you have left it in the skillet too long.
