Okay, so the presentation is a little extra. You guys should know by now that I’M the one that’s a little extra when it comes to my food. Of course, you don’t have to color your dough or sculpt it into a bouquet…that’s just my own little flair for the dramatic. Regardless, I developed this recipe after realizing I had absolutely no ingredients in my house to cook anything. I had a couple of staples (flour + eggs) and some half-eaten goat cheese and of course whenever I have a really weird assortment of ingredients my mind always goes directly to how I can make pasta with it. So that’s where this sweeeeeet goat cheese ravioli in a brown butter sage sauce came from! Enjoy it or enjoy looking at it!

Instructions

Pasta Dough

In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, or by hand, combine the flour, eggs, olive oil, and salt until a dough forms. If it's crumbly, add water little by little until it comes together. If it's too wet, add more flour little by little until it comes together.
Wrap your dough ball in saran wrap and let it sit for 3 minutes.
While I could go on and on about how to make a ravioli, I feel as if most people benefit from watching a video as opposed to me rambling on here in the instructions. I would recommend youtubing the technique paired with whatever tools you have when it comes to forming your ravs!

Goat Cheese Filling

Add all of the goat cheese filling to a large bowl and whip it together with a hand mixer, or stand mixer if that's what you prefer. This should take about a minute to get it smooth and fluffy.
Go back to the pasta dough instruction and use this as your ravioli filling.

Brown Butter Sage Sauce

In a saucepan over low/medium heat, add your stick of butter.
Completely melt it and let it keep cooking for 1-3 minutes or until it's a light golden brown and bubbly.
Take it off of the heat and add the salt and sage.

Letting It Come Together

Boil your ravioli for 3 minutes.
Top it with the brown butter sage sauce and serve with parmesan cheese.
