I was pleasantly surprised with how light and delicious this dish was. It definitely reminded me of something you would eat in the fall after a day at the pumpkin patch. The only thing that I would like to try differently with this meal is, instead of using chicken broth I would like to add vegetable broth so that this meal could be enjoyed by my vegetarian friends as well.
Recipe:
1 cup onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 (1 pound) butternut squash, halved, seeded, peeled, and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 3 cups)
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1 tablespoon snipped fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried sage, crushed
½ cup apple cider or apple juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into thin wedges
1 (20 to 24 ounce) package frozen cheese-filled ravioli
½ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
Snipped fresh sage (optional)
1) In a very large skillet cook onion and garlic in hot oil over medium heat for 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add squash, broth, and dried sage (if using). Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
2) Combine apple cider and cornstarch; add to skillet along with apple wedges and fresh sage (if using). Cook, stirring gently, until thickened and bubbly. Cook, uncovered, 2 minutes more.
3) Meanwhile, cook ravioli according to package directions. Drain. Add ravioli to hot apple mixture; toss gently to combine. To serve, top with walnuts, Parmesan cheese, pepper, and if desired, additional fresh sage.
