ravioli with balsamic brown butter

    Giada of Everyday Italian from the Food Network is by far one of my favorite people to watch. I want to eat her, she is so adorable and classy. I made this for sunday dinner and it was a hit. pasta, cheese, balsamic vinegar? you can't go wrong with this combo...








    ravioli with balsamic brown butter
    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.

enjoy! xo.
