Ingredients

18 to 20 ounces store-bought ravioli (cheese, mushroom, or squash)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the ravioli and cook 4 to 5 minutes, until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally. Drain ravioli onto a large serving platter.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan cook the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. When the foam subsides, and the butter begins to turn a golden brown, about 3 minutes, turn off the heat. Let cool for about 1 minute. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Transfer the ravioli to the pan saucepan with the balsamic brown butter. Sprinkle walnuts and Parmesan over the top. Serve immediately.

Excellent... Even with Perogies!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this a few weeks ago and it was great. The first time I made it I followed the recipe exactly. Everyone loved it but... I don't think I let the butter brown enough. Today, I decided to make it again, but instead of with cheese ravioli, I made it with cheese perogies. It was even better!!! I highly recommend it!Read more

a nice change of pace
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this recipe today & found it was such a nice change from the normal red sauce or cream sauces that I always make. it... was nice & light but still delicious. I had read the reviews so I was concerned that it might be a little too simple & bland so I added some sliced baby bella mushrooms & shallots when I was browning the butter. I used a 4 cheese ravioli and substituted the walnuts for some toasted pine nuts that I had in my pantry. I threw some parsley on top at the end & was very satisfied with my lunch! I will definitely make this again. Read more

Delightful!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This made a lovely sauce to go over smoked mozarella ravioli I had. My entire family loved it! I did substitute pine nuts... for the walnuts and it gave the dish an excellent crunch. Read more

Delicious and Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was a little apprehensive trying out this recipe. I'm not a big fan of balsamic vinegar. BUT is turned out delicious!! It... was just the right amount of flavor and the walnuts was a great crunch to the mix. I used butter squash ravioli from Whole Foods and it came out heavenly. The sweet taste of the squash with the slight bitter tastes of the vinegar was a great match. I recommend!Read more
