heat olive oil in skillet, and stir the sage leaves until crispy.

drain ravioli and bathe the ravioli in the skillet to absorb the flavored olive oil.

I found the last bunch of sage leaves in the herb garden and harvested them for my favorite fall ravioli...an easy recipe to stand on its own with a big salad, or accompany turkey leftovers this thanksgiving weekend!

thanksgiving weekend

although traditional Thanksgiving with my family is at my sister's home in the Hamptons,  I aways have houseguests over the the weekend, and my new favorite menu includes pumpkin ravioli with a brown butter sage sauce...a big arugula salad with parmesan + pine nuts, and a hearty red wine...

will be serving this menu to friends coming out to the new general store pop up shop this weekend!
