Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully add the pumpkin cheese ravioli and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top and are tender but al dente. Once cooked, gently drain the ravioli in a colander and set aside, tossing them lightly with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add smashed garlic cloves, chopped toasted walnuts, and fresh sage leaves to the pan. Keep cooking for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until the butter turns a golden brown and the sage becomes crispy.
  3. Carefully use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy sage leaves from the skillet, placing them on a paper towel to drain excess butter.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low, then pour in the apple cider (or white wine) along with apple cider vinegar into the skillet. Stir in a pinch of nutmeg, and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 1 minute.
  5. Gently add the cooked pumpkin cheese ravioli to the skillet, carefully tossing them in the sage butter sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, letting the ravioli soak in the savory flavors while they're heated through.
  6. Transfer the ravioli onto serving plates and top generously with the crispy sage leaves and shaved manchego cheese.
