Both kids and adults find these little pillows of pasta very appealing. These ravioli remind me of a pasta dish I have had in Ferrara with my Italian family and friends, Agnolotti di Zucca con Salvia. The nutty, sweet flavor of the squash filling is very appealing. Serve with a Butter and Sage Sauce and your guests will be wondering at what Italian cooking school you've been studying.

Ferrarese Butter and Sage Sauce with Squash Raviolini.
Use about 6-8 T butter and 3-4 T extra virgin olive oil and 1 cup of fresh sage. Do not use dried sage in this dish. Heat oil and melt butter in a large skillet. Add sage leaves (cut up or whole - your choice) and saute until butter begins to slightly brown and sage begins to crisp and infuses flavor and aroma into the butter/oil. Be careful not to burn! Add 1/2 cup toasted then finely crumbled Sorelle Nurzia Amaretti Coookies (http://www.cosituttimarketplace.com/servlet/the-111/Sorelle-Nurzia-Soft-Amaretti/Detail) . Stir to coat. Combine with cooked pasta, retaining some of the boiled pasta water, if needed, to add to the sauce to loosen. (Serves 4 -6)
