To start, you’ll need to make or purchase some butternut squash ravioli. Arrange the ravioli on a plate and prepare the two sauces separately.
For the Hazelnut Honey Butter, you’ll need:

– 1 tbsp honey
– Salt and pepper, to taste
In a small bowl, stir together the butter, chopped hazelnuts, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Spoon the mixture over the ravioli, making sure to spread it out evenly.
For the Sage Brown Butter Sauce, you’ll need:
– 1/2 stick unsalted butter
– 6-8 fresh sage leaves

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until the butter begins to brown and the sage leaves are crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and discard the sage leaves. Spoon the brown butter over the ravioli and hazelnut honey butter, again making sure to distribute it evenly.
Garnish the dish with additional chopped hazelnuts and fresh sage leaves, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious balance of flavors and textures.
This dish is perfect for a cozy date night in or as a special treat for yourself.
