Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ravioli and cook according to package directions.
In a small saucepan, melt butter and sauté mushrooms and garlic on medium heat. When mushrooms have softened, about 3 -5 minutes, add the Alfredo sauce. Simmer until sauce is heated through. Toss ravioli in sauce and serve with fried sage and walnut parmesan.

In a small skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Add a couple whole sage leaves to the skillet at a time. Fry sage for about 10 seconds then flip and fry for an additional 10 seconds until sage turned bright green.
Take the fried sage out of the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Sprinkle sage leaves with salt while they are still hot.

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 leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.

If you don't have a Trader Joe's near you, any pumpkin flavored pasta will work well in this recipe.
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.
